University IT will perform updates for all websites hosted on the Stanford Sites Drupal hosting service on the following dates:
- Friday, December 5th, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
- Saturday, December 6th, from 4 a.m. - 8 a.m.
- Sunday, December 7th, from 4 a.m. - 8 a.m.
The changes are significant and include security patches and upgrades for both Drupal 6 and 7 sites. See below for a complete list of module updates.
The 7.34 update to Drupal core addresses two vulnerabilities: limiting the length of passwords at the API level and correcting an issue with sites that serve “mixed mode” http/https content. Stanford Sites relies almost exclusively on the WebAuth module for Drupal and does not serve “mixed mode” http/https content. As a result, the update did not warrant an emergency rollout.
Websites are scheduled to receive upgrades on a rolling basis. Please note that when the upgrade begins on a website, all logged-in users (if any) will be logged out, and the website will be placed offline temporarily. Visitors will see a message that the website is offline for maintenance. Security patches and database updates will be applied, and the website will be placed back online. We expect the website to be offline for approximately 1 minute during the updates.
If you experience issues with your website hosted on Stanford Sites, please submit a HelpSU request. We will respond as soon as possible.
