Affected: 1.2

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.2

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy nc-linklist || rpm -q nc-linklist || nc-linklist --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison nc-linklist sudo apt install nc-linklist=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.2> sudo apt-mark hold nc-linklist

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.
