Affected: < 1.4.3 · >= 2.0.0 and < 2.0.10 · >= 3.0.0 and < 3.0.9

Fixed in: 1.4.3, 2.0.10, 3.0.9

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 1.4.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade goa

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 2.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison goa sudo apt install goa=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold goa

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

dnf --showduplicates list goa sudo dnf downgrade goa-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add goa

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.
