kaspersky security UPGRADE

Affected: >= 8.0 and <= 8.0.3.30

Fixed in: newer than 8.0.3.30

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 8.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to newer than 8.0.3.30 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade security

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 8.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison security sudo apt install security=<VERSION_BEFORE_8.0> sudo apt-mark hold security

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

dnf --showduplicates list security sudo dnf downgrade security-<VERSION_BEFORE_8.0> sudo dnf versionlock add security

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.
