moin moin James,

yup. If you're using a version with the bug, you need to upgrade now and
immediately generate new keys.

https://www.mattslifebytes.com/?p=533

If you're still running it at this point, then you should also notify
anyone who has logged in via your service in the last couple days.

For those of us who use secure sites, we should verify the site has been
updated, then immediately change our password. If the site has security
questions, then those should be changed as well. If you're not already
using something like KeePassX, then now is a good time to start.

Find out if a site is vulnerable:

Detect on your own:

ciao,
