The Heartbleed bug affected nearly every operating system in existence, and had everyone from solo developers to enterprise level businesses rushing to fix the problems caused by it. Moments after learning of the vulnerability we began patching the OS level OpenSSL libraries on our infrastructure and on all user GitHost instances. Shortly after that, GitLab released updated packages to fix the issue within the GitLab software itself. Last but not least, our SSL certificates were regenerated using the new OpenSSL libraries and distributed to all user instances running on the *.githost.io subdomain.

If you'd like to test and verify your GitHost instances are secure please checkout Filippo Valsorda's online Heartbleed test tool.

This bug caught the internet off guard, but we patched and secured our systems quickly. GitHost will always be on top of security issues and respond quickly to all reports.
