Description: 
The Drupal Security Team will be coordinating a security release for Drupal
core 8.9, 9.1, and 9.2 this week on *Thursday, August 12, 2021*.

We are issuing this PSA in advance because August 12, 2021 is not a security
window in the regular Drupal security release window schedule [1], so there
would not normally be any security release on this date.

The Drupal core release will be made between 16:00 – 21:00 UTC (noon –
5:00pm EDT). It is rated as moderately critical and will be an update to a
vendor library only.

Drupal 7 core is not affected, although Drupal 7 site owners should review
their site following the protocol for managing external libraries and plugins
[2] previously suggested by the Drupal Security Team.
