And a good morning to you, too!

After totally freaking out, I updated the server. Then I realized the vulnerability is optional software for Apache (web server software) and not Apache itself. And we don't use it. Phew! There were updates for Apache. But that probably involves linking to this utility.

So we're good. :) But there will be a lot of busy sysadmins today! Scary stuff!
