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 3.0.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison privileged-access-manager sudo apt install privileged-access-manager=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.1> sudo apt-mark hold privileged-access-manager

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

dnf --showduplicates list privileged-access-manager sudo dnf downgrade privileged-access-manager-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.1> sudo dnf versionlock add privileged-access-manager

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.
