secunia csi agent UPGRADE

Affected: >= 6.0.0 and <= 6.0.0.15017 · >= 6.0.1 and <= 6.0.1.1007 · >= 7.0.0 and <= 7.0.0.21

Fixed in: newer than 7.0.0.21

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy csi-agent || rpm -q csi-agent || csi-agent --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 7.0.0.21 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade csi-agent

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade csi-agent

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison csi-agent sudo apt install csi-agent=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold csi-agent

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list csi-agent sudo dnf downgrade csi-agent-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add csi-agent

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.
