debian debian linux MITIGATE

Affected: 10.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 10.0

Check your OS release

cat /etc/os-release; uname -r

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

Windows

Install the latest cumulative update from Windows Update

If no patch exists yet

OS downgrades are not safe. Apply the vendor mitigation from the advisory and restrict exposure.

qt qt UPGRADE

Affected: >= 5.13.0 and < 5.15.15 · >= 6.0.0 and < 6.2.9 · >= 6.3.0 and < 6.5.2

Fixed in: 5.15.15, 6.2.9, 6.5.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 5.13.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 5.15.15 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade qt

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade qt

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 5.13.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison qt sudo apt install qt=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.13.0> sudo apt-mark hold qt

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

dnf --showduplicates list qt sudo dnf downgrade qt-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.13.0> sudo dnf versionlock add qt

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.
