Affected: 1.0.9

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.0.9

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.0.9 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison reflect sudo apt install reflect=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.9> sudo apt-mark hold reflect

dnf --showduplicates list reflect sudo dnf downgrade reflect-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.9> sudo dnf versionlock add reflect

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.
