jetty jetty DOWNGRADE

Affected: 6.0_beta_16

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.0_beta_16

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.0_beta_16 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison jetty sudo apt install jetty=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0_beta_16> sudo apt-mark hold jetty

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

dnf --showduplicates list jetty sudo dnf downgrade jetty-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0_beta_16> sudo dnf versionlock add jetty

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.
