zend zend-cache UPGRADE

Affected: <= 2.4.7 · 2.5.0 · 2.5.1 · 2.5.2

Fixed in: newer than 2.4.7

Safe to downgrade to: no unaffected older release

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 2.4.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade zend-cache

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade zend-cache

Note

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

debian debian linux MITIGATE

Affected: 7.0 · 8.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 7.0

Check your OS release

cat /etc/os-release; uname -r

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

Windows

Install the latest cumulative update from Windows Update

If no patch exists yet

OS downgrades are not safe. Apply the vendor mitigation from the advisory and restrict exposure.

doctrine-project object relational mapper UPGRADE

Affected: <= 2.4.7 · 2.5.0 · 2.5.0 alpha1 · 2.5.0 alpha2 · 2.5.0 beta1 · 2.5.0 rc1 · 2.5.0 rc2

Fixed in: newer than 2.4.7

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy object-relational-mapper || rpm -q object-relational-mapper || object-relational-mapper --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 2.4.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade object-relational-mapper

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade object-relational-mapper

doctrine-project doctrinemongodbbundle DOWNGRADE

Affected: 3.0.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.0.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison doctrinemongodbbundle sudo apt install doctrinemongodbbundle=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold doctrinemongodbbundle

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

dnf --showduplicates list doctrinemongodbbundle sudo dnf downgrade doctrinemongodbbundle-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add doctrinemongodbbundle

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.
