Affected: 0.9

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.9

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.9 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison logmethods sudo apt install logmethods=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.9> sudo apt-mark hold logmethods

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

dnf --showduplicates list logmethods sudo dnf downgrade logmethods-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.9> sudo dnf versionlock add logmethods

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.
