Hi, I saw this page about OpenLiteSpeed 1.7.16.1 https://thehackernews.com/2022/11/multiple-high-severity-flaw-affect.html and my OpenLiteSpeed web admin page says my current version is only OpenLiteSpeed 1.7.16. Does that mean I am exposed to CVE-2022-0072 CVE-2022-0073 and CVE-2022-0074? If so what should I do about this?

Hi there,
Indeed, according to the post, OpenLiteSpeed version 1.7.16 is impacted by the issues, which have been addressed in versions 1.7.16.1.
What you need to do is to upgrade your version, you can do that by following the steps here:
https://openlitespeed.org/kb/how-to-upgrade-openlitespeed/
For example with Ubuntu, you could do:
And that should be enough to get you to
1.7.16-3+jammy. To verify the version you can use this command:Make sure that you have a backup of your Droplet before the upgrade, that way if anything goes wrong you will be able to revert to the working backup!
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
Hey @davehamilton,
Yes, it seems like you’ll need to Upgrade OpenLiteSpeed to avoid these CVEs. The good thing is it’s fairly easy to do.
Make sure to create a backup/snapshot before you begin with the upgrade process. You can check this article on how to do that :
