A lot of people in techny internet spaces online are talking about a PHP embargo. What does that mean and what’s going on?

    There’s a bug. Update it.

    Pretty simple, but apparently people have decided to lose their minds over this one.

        To be fair, it’s quite a biggie.

        I remember a day when we had 4 major ssh Vulnerabilities in the same day. We were on advance notice because #OSVendor so we got them as they came in and went nuts.

        And each one that came in spawned another new effort of research, patch, test, roll, systest, releng, ship. It was all day, all-hands, every group, panic.

        Wait. Now I can’t decide whether it was 2002 or 2003, because there were 2 days where that fucking happened.

        With openssh.

        Keep your pants on, right?

      People get irrationally angry when PHP has a fault. Must be because we’re too busy holding up 70% of the web to fall for drama.

      In all seriousness these exploits are bad. Update right away.
