Important security notification for server owners and hosters

[Dutchman101]

Hello,

We recently discovered a vulnerability within MTA Server, as a result of which an attacker could crash your server. The issue has been fixed and we urge all server owners and hosters to update immediately.

 

Getting the update

Linux: https://linux.multitheftauto.com/

Windows x64: https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/?mtasa_x64-1.5-rc-latest

If your server is hosted locally (out of your MTA installation folder), reinstall with the full installer from https://multitheftauto.com/ for the x86 server

My server is Turkey located, which option should I do?

Thank you for this great and important contribution, although I have some doubts about what changes and benefits this new update would have.

Surely it is because of your version of VPS, in my case I did not have any problem, the update works very well for me.
I am using ubuntu 18.04

It's not bugs.. the glibc errors are because MTA server no longer supports some very outdated Linux distributions.

The solution is simple, update Linux. Using old versions is a bad practise, and can even present security risks. There is no reason to, say, use Ubuntu 16.04 (no longer supported).

Any server owner or hoster that wants to be able to use new versions of MTA in the future, has to update their Linux distribution. If you don't know how to, ask any friend that has experience with Linux.

@4evergaming Ubuntu 16.04 was released in 2016 and went out of LTS support in 2021. Just upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 to solve the problem.

 

* For anyone that cares.. after the OVH fire incident we had to rebuild our Linux build agents, losing support for some ancient Linux distro versions. It's not worth the effort to bring it back and maintain it. We also phased out older platforms like Windows XP in a similar manner.. there always comes a point where we need to encourage users to update their system rather than maintaining compatibility with legacy systems (which can complicate adding new features and improvements)

gracias

Thanks for the warning, I'm setting up my local server and today when I opened it I saw the message saying to update ASAP

[BadDawg]

Thanks Dutch.
