Description

We do run the master as root and are therefore affected:

I already rebuilt the 7.4 packages, but we need to get a patch for 7.2 and roll it out.

Event Timeline

I'm currently working on updated 7.2 packages.

I backported the patch to our PHP 7.2 packages, ran a few smoke tests on mwdebug1001 and uploaded the build to apt.wikimedia.org. Version is 7.2.34-18+0~20210223.60+debian10~1.gbpb21322+wmf3

@Legoktm Can you or someone else from Serviceops take care of the production rollout?

I upgraded all the production docker images and @dancy took care of doing a full rebuild of the multiversion image. I upgraded all the Shellboxes as well. On appservers, I've upgraded all debug and canary servers, we can do the rest of the fleet on Wednesday (since Tuesday is a holiday).

I upgraded parsoid-canary (scandium, wtp1025, wtp1026, parse2001, parse2002).

Also upgraded cloudweb2001-dev.wikimedia.org after confirming with @bd808/@Andrew. This hosts https://labtestwikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page which is still up. So same here, canary done now. labweb1001/1002 on Wednesday, I suppose.

All hosts should be upgraded now (minus mw2280, which is down and being replaced)
