apt-cache madison notify sudo apt install notify=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.x-1.0> sudo apt-mark hold notify

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

dnf --showduplicates list notify sudo dnf downgrade notify-<VERSION_BEFORE_7.x-1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add notify

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.
