Emergency Maintenance: Security Updates for Docker Jobs.

Scheduled Maintenance Report for CircleCI

Completed

We have completed the kernel upgrades across all of the infrastructure used to run Docker jobs. Our monitoring shows Docker job execution is working as normal.

During the maintenance, a small number of running jobs were canceled as machines were upgraded. These jobs will have an "Infrastructure Fail" status in the CircleCI UI. You can rerun Infrastructure Fail jobs from the UI or pushing to your VCS brach.

Please contact CircleCI support if you have any additional questions or have problems running Docker jobs.

Thank you for your patience during this maintenance.

Scheduled

What's Happening
In order to address a High Severity CVE (CVE-2026-43499), we are rolling out an emergency security update across the entire CircleCI infrastructure used to run Docker jobs. To minimize customer impact, we are executing a rolling upgrade across each individual cluster one by one.
We expect the entire update process to complete in approximately 8 hours, and we will provide updates as individual clusters are updated.

What's Impacted
Customers running Docker jobs

What You Can Expect
Customers may see brief interruptions to Docker jobs while the updated capacity is deployed. No action is required.

Thank you for your patience while our engineers complete the rollout.

We will provide further updates as the maintenance proceeds.
