This is a past/expired downtime notification. The downtimes specified below have been completed, and remarks/results are given below as well.

Unless otherwise noted, all dates and times are given in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), with time in 24-hour notation.

Update: The reboots have all been completed.

In the hours following this post, all LizardNet servers (ridley.fastlizard4.org, phazon.fastlizard4.org, and minecraft1.fastlizard4.org) will be rebooted so patches for multiple critical security vulnerabilities can be applied.  The patches include fixes for CVE-2016-0728 (Linux kernel privilege escalation) and CVE-2015-7547 (glibc getaddrinfo stack-based buffer overflow) – more information about these vulnerabilities can be found at their respective links.

Due to the emergency nature of these reboots, they will be occurring almost immediately after this post.  I apologize for not being able to provide more advance notice, and thank you for your understanding.
