apt-cache policy mysource || rpm -q mysource || mysource --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 2.14.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison mysource sudo apt install mysource=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.14.0> sudo apt-mark hold mysource

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list mysource sudo dnf downgrade mysource-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.14.0> sudo dnf versionlock add mysource

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
