cPanel has released new builds for all public update tiers. These
updates provide targeted changes to address security concerns with
the cPanel & WHM product. These builds are currently available to all
customers via the standard update system.

cPanel has rated these updates as having security impact levels ranging
from Minor to Important.

Information on cPanel's security ratings is available at
http://go.cpanel.net/securitylevels.

If your deployed cPanel & WHM servers are configured to automatically
update when new releases are available, then no action is required.
Your systems will update automatically. If you have disabled automatic
updates, then we strongly encourage you to update your cPanel & WHM
installations at your earliest convenience.

The following cPanel & WHM versions address all known vulnerabilities:

* 11.39.0.5 & Greater
* 11.38.1.13 & Greater
* 11.36.1.15 & Greater
* 11.34.1.25 & Greater
* 11.32.6.17 & Greater

The latest public releases of cPanel & WHM for all update tiers are

Security Issue Information

The cPanel security team and independent security researchers
identified the resolved security issues. There is no reason to believe
that these vulnerabilities have been made known to the public. As such,
cPanel will only release limited information about the vulnerabilities
at this time.

Once sufficient time has passed, allowing cPanel & WHM systems to
automatically update to the new versions, cPanel will release
additional information about the nature of the security issues. This
Targeted Security Release addresses 5 vulnerabilities in cPanel & WHM
software versions 11.39, 11.38, 11.36, 11.34, and 11.32.

Additional information is scheduled for release on July 17th, 2013.
