fit2cloud jumpserver UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.0.0 and < 3.10.12

Fixed in: 3.10.12

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.0.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 3.10.12 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade jumpserver

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 3.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison jumpserver sudo apt install jumpserver=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold jumpserver

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

dnf --showduplicates list jumpserver sudo dnf downgrade jumpserver-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add jumpserver

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.
