Was das unter einer SharedLicense-Lizenz bedeutet
Your SharedLicense license itself is not affected — this is a vulnerability in CloudLinux, cPanel, Imunify360 software, not in licensing. Licenses continue to work during and after the update; there is no need to re-issue or re-activate anything. If you resell CloudLinux, cPanel, Imunify360 under your own brand, patch client servers too — unpatched installs put your reputation at risk, not your license.
Situation
An escalation-of-privilege bug in various modules in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 and earlier allows local .htaccess authors to read files with the privileges of the httpd user.
