Advisory ID: DRUPAL-PSA-2016-002

Project: Drupal

Version: 8.x

Date: 2016-July-17

Security risk: TBD

Vulnerability: TBD

Description

We will be doing a Drupal 8 core patch release on Monday, July 18th. This will occur between 14:15 UTC and 19:00 UTC.

There will not be a Drupal 7 release during this window.

Update: details and mitigating instructions

A release of Drupal core that fixes this issue is available via SA-CORE-2016-003. Details of the issue (dubbed httpoxy) are avialable at httpoxy.org. In addition to the background information available the site also includes mitigation instructions.

Why is this release being issued?

The Drupal security team has learned that a third-party Drupal 8 dependency will be making a security release on Monday, July 18th and in accordance we will be making a Drupal 8 release soon after. We will not disclose details of the third-party update in advance of that release and cannot respond to requests for further information. This security release is for the dependency only and does not affect Drupal 7 sites. Other mitigating factors will be included with our published SA.

What about the regularly scheduled release window on Wednesday, July 20?

We are moving the regularly scheduled window two days earlier to provide the third-party dependency update, so this replaces that window.

There will not be another core release on Wednesday, July 20th.
