hp webinspect UPGRADE

Affected: >= 7.8 and <= 10.4

Fixed in: newer than 10.4

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 7.8

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 10.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade webinspect

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

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 7.8 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison webinspect sudo apt install webinspect=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.8> sudo apt-mark hold webinspect

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

dnf --showduplicates list webinspect sudo dnf downgrade webinspect-<VERSION_BEFORE_7.8> sudo dnf versionlock add webinspect

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.
