Affected: 5.5 · 5.6 · 5.7 · 5.8.6 · 5.9.0 · 5.9.1 · 5.9.7 · 5.9.9

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 5.5

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 5.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison provision sudo apt install provision=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.5> sudo apt-mark hold provision

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

dnf --showduplicates list provision sudo dnf downgrade provision-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.5> sudo dnf versionlock add provision

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.
