            Does it affect Jira Core 8.20.x ?

            When is the fix for 8.20.x LTS getting released

            https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-support-end-of-life-policy-201851003.html

            8.20 (EOL date: 31 Jan 2024) LONG TERM SUPPORT

            For critical vulnerabilities

            Back Port Policy

            Issue new bug fix releases for:

            • Any versions designated an 'Long Term Support release' that have not reached end of life.

            +1 to the list of people wondering what's happened to the 8.20 fix train...

            Update: I suppose this reflects that it's not "critical" (so back porting isn't demanded by the policy)?

            We are running Jira 8.20.27.  The Dev. 12 bulletin at https://confluence.atlassian.com/security/security-bulletin-december-12-2023-1319249520.html says 

            Patch to a minimum fix version of 9.4.13 or latest

            Does that mean there is no 8.20.x patched version available?
