HIGH 8.1REMOTEDOWNGRADE

CVE-2022-48217 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.1) affecting tf remapper. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

tradr-project tf remapper DOWNGRADE

Affected: 1.1.1

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.1.1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy tf-remapper || rpm -q tf-remapper || tf-remapper --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.1.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison tf-remapper sudo apt install tf-remapper=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.1.1> sudo apt-mark hold tf-remapper

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

dnf --showduplicates list tf-remapper sudo dnf downgrade tf-remapper-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.1.1> sudo dnf versionlock add tf-remapper

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.
