darktrace threat visualizer UPGRADE

Affected: >= 6.0.0 and < 6.0.15

Fixed in: 6.0.15

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy threat-visualizer || rpm -q threat-visualizer || threat-visualizer --version

2. UPGRADE to 6.0.15 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade threat-visualizer

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade threat-visualizer

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 6.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison threat-visualizer sudo apt install threat-visualizer=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold threat-visualizer

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

dnf --showduplicates list threat-visualizer sudo dnf downgrade threat-visualizer-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add threat-visualizer

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.
