Affected: 2.4

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.4

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 2.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison openbmcs sudo apt install openbmcs=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.4> sudo apt-mark hold openbmcs

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

dnf --showduplicates list openbmcs sudo dnf downgrade openbmcs-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.4> sudo dnf versionlock add openbmcs

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.
