Commonwealth of Virginia Security Office Advisory

July 6, 2012

The Commonwealth of Virginia Security Office has issued an advisory regarding critical vulnerabilities that could affect our web servers. System engineers will apply critical patches at 1:00 pm today.

This will affect the main Mason web server that hosts www.gmu.edu (Jiju) and affiliated virtual host names, the ITU WordPress server (Tuscany), and Eagle. The outage is expected to last about 10-15 minutes per server and will result in web sites on those servers to be unavailable.

If you have any questions, contact ITU Support Center at 993-8870 or the webmaster at webmaster@gmu.edu.
