Our current Data Center version is 8.9.3.  Due to the recent vulnerability, should we downgrade to LTS version 8.5.15 or upgradet to 9.0.3?

Strictly from a security standpoint, I don't think it matters since both versions 8.5.15 and 9.0.3 are listed as "fix" versions for the two latest DoS vulnerabilities.

The biggest reason I use LTS releases is for plugin compatibility. If your installed plugins work with version 9, you should be fine either way.

Thanks for your insight here, Jim.  I was mostly concerned with "downgrading" our level verses jumping to a 9.x level... Wondering which would be easier.  If we need to worry about plugins, then I'm assuming downgrading to the LTS might be a better idea for compatibility.    Thanks again!
