A Message for Registered Moodle Administrators

This email is going out to many thousands of registered Moodle admins. You are receiving this email because you asked for Moodle security news when you registered a Moodle site. If you don't want these emails then please re-register your site with your new preferences or use the unsubscribe link below. Replies to this email will not be read.

I'm writing today to let you know that Moodle 2.9, 2.8.6, 2.7.8 and 2.6.11 are available via the usual open download channels: http://download.moodle.org or Git.

Note that the 2.7 branch from now on is supported for security fixes only untill May 2017 and 2.6 branch is no longer supported.

Release notes are available for each new version.

Security Issues

As well as a long list of bug fixes, performance improvements and polishing, there are security issues you should be aware of. Details of these security issues are listed below.

As a registered Moodle admin we are giving you advance notice of these issues so you have some time to fix them before we publish them more widely on http://moodle.org/security in one week.

To avoid leaving your site vulnerable, we highly recommend you upgrade your sites to the latest Moodle version as soon as you can. If you cannot upgrade, then please check the following list carefully and patch your own system or switch off those features.

Thanks

Thanks, as always, to EVERYONE involved in reporting and fixing issues. It really is a team effort and one with more and more people involved all the time.

Thanks for using Moodle and being part of the Moodle open source community.

Hola Olga,

efectivament vosaltres no heu fet res.

A partir de la propera actualització (prevista per la setmana vinent) ja no rebreu aquest correu amb les novetats i actualitzacions de Moodle.org.

Fins ara i disculpeu les molèsties.

Mònica

Hola de nou Olga,

la infomació del missage anterior no és del tot correcta. La semtana vinent amb l'actualtizació quedarà solucionat el que diu el missatge ja que actualitzarem a la 2.6.11

Pel que fa al missatge, el que hem fet és desactivar-vos-ho, per tant, ja no els hauríeu de rebre més.

Fins ara,

Mònica
