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 5.14.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison cloverdx sudo apt install cloverdx=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.14.0> sudo apt-mark hold cloverdx

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

dnf --showduplicates list cloverdx sudo dnf downgrade cloverdx-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.14.0> sudo dnf versionlock add cloverdx

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.
