Railway MySQL Security Patch Assessment – Production Database Version Verification and Maintenance Review

Hello Railway Support,

I received a scheduled MySQL security patch notification for my production database.

However, my database is currently running MySQL 9.7.4.0, confirmed using SELECT VERSION_WITH_UPDATE();.

Since the security advisory lists affected MySQL 9.7 versions up to 9.7.3, could you confirm whether this scheduled maintenance is still required for my service?

Will the scheduled patch cause another MySQL upgrade or restart?

Project: SmartEdz_Website

Environment: Production

Service: MySQL

Thank you.

Your MySQL service runs the mysql:9 image pinned to a specific build, with automatic updates limited to vulnerability fixes and a maintenance window from Saturday 10:00 UTC to Sunday 18:00 UTC. We can't confirm from our side which MySQL release the scheduled update contains, or how it compares to the 9.7.4 version you're seeing. So we can't tell you whether the advisory still applies to your running version.

If the update is applied, the service redeploys onto the new image. That means a short restart, and because the service has a volume attached, a brief outage while the old container stops and the new one starts. The data on the volume stays in place. You can change the update policy and maintenance windows in the service's Settings under Source.
