About GHOST: glibc vulnerability (CVE-2015-0235)

Following the announcements of the GHOST vulnerability [1][2] our team updated all our infrastructure and managed servers last Sunday, February 1st.

As part of the update, we have been restarting specific services that use glibc (i.e. Apache, Passenger, sshd) to make sure the updated version is used by these services. 

A full restart of the server is recommended in most cases to make sure all the server applications start using the updated glibc packages.

Please contact us if you want to know more about the updates we have applied to your server or if you want to schedule a restart of your servers.

Thanks,
The Speedyrails Team.
