    We are aware of CVE-2026-99999, a critical Linux kernel vulnerability (CVSS 9.3) that was publicly disclosed on 15 October 2026. It affects the host systems underlying all VPS and VDS products. We have been tracking it since publication and are working to patch our entire server fleet as quickly as possible, with fixes deployed gradually as they become available. Customers should expect VPS or VDS to restart during this period. We will keep interruptions as brief as possible. We recommend keeping recent backups and making sure services start automatically after a reboot. Full details available on our helpdesk.
