Affected: 3.4

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.4

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison ontrack sudo apt install ontrack=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.4> sudo apt-mark hold ontrack

dnf --showduplicates list ontrack sudo dnf downgrade ontrack-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.4> sudo dnf versionlock add ontrack

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.
