facuet ryu DOWNGRADE

Affected: 4.34

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 4.34

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 4.34 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison ryu sudo apt install ryu=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.34> sudo apt-mark hold ryu

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list ryu sudo dnf downgrade ryu-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.34> sudo dnf versionlock add ryu

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.
