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 5.9.7.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison password-manager sudo apt install password-manager=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.9.7.1> sudo apt-mark hold password-manager

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.
