quarkslab binbloom DOWNGRADE

Affected: 2.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 2.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison binbloom sudo apt install binbloom=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0> sudo apt-mark hold binbloom

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

dnf --showduplicates list binbloom sudo dnf downgrade binbloom-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0> sudo dnf versionlock add binbloom

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.
