Read moreLinux security patches impact on Drupal
Having a discussion with the IT group that hosts our Drupal installs. They are proposing a new monthly schedule of applying security patches to Linux hosts (RedHat), including patches to Apache, PHP, MySQL and suggesting we test of Drupal sites afterwards to ensure nothing is broken as a result of patching. I wonder if this additional testing is necessary. I would expect Drupal installs to remain stable as long as versions of Apache, PHP and MySQL don't change. Has anyone seen Drupal installs break as a result of OS security patching? Does anyone routinely test their sites after OS patches?
