aviatrix gateway UPGRADE

Affected: < 6.6.5712 · >= 6.7.0 and < 6.7.1376

Fixed in: 6.6.5712, 6.7.1376

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.7.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 6.6.5712 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade gateway

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 6.7.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison gateway sudo apt install gateway=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.7.0> sudo apt-mark hold gateway

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

dnf --showduplicates list gateway sudo dnf downgrade gateway-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.7.0> sudo dnf versionlock add gateway

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.
