After the recent "greendick" spammer attack on the steem blockchain a security fix has been released. it is recommended that all witnesses upgrade to prevent further attacks.

If you are using @someguy123's SIAB (steem in a box) navigate to your steem-docker folder and type :
./run.sh install
after it has finished installing type :
./run.sh restart
If you have a backup server test on there first.
