Ripple & Stellar Traders:

We have taken our Ripple and Stellar gateways offline pending further investigation of the "partial payments" vulnerability. We will bring the gateways back online as soon as possible, but not before we are absolutely certain that we aren't affected by this vulnerability.

Stellar has disabled this functionality alltogether already (forcing you to pay fees when reimbursing someone), on Ripple you hopefully already check flags before crediting accounts. Better safe than sorry though, this is only a "vulnerability" if you didn't read the documentation, otherwise it's a useful feature.
