Our provider is performing unscheduled emergency maintenance across servers to install security updates.

This is needed to apply a critical kernel patch to mitigate CVE-2026-99999: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2026-99999 - which is being applied at short notice across different servers: https://status.linode.com/incidents/zp71823t318w.

This may result in certain hosted websites being unavailable for a 20 minute period.

We'll be monitoring this situation, and will post further updates if it causes an impact on hosted websites.
