it's PHP that needs the patches. Yes you should take the site down until PHP has been patched.
edit: assuming you are hosting wordpress yourself. if you're using a large 3rd party service that manages PHP itself like wordpress themselves, one should hope that they will be updating PHP early, before the patch is even released publicly.
Yeah it's self hosted, thanks
