Timeline

ibm engineering requirements management doors UPGRADE
Affected: >= 9.6 and <= 9.6.1.13 · 9.7.2.9
Fixed in: newer than 9.6.1.13
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 9.6
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy engineering-requirements-management-doors || rpm -q engineering-requirements-management-doors || engineering-requirements-management-doors --version
2. UPGRADE to newer than 9.6.1.13 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade engineering-requirements-management-doors
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade engineering-requirements-management-doors
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 9.6 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison engineering-requirements-management-doors sudo apt install engineering-requirements-management-doors=<VERSION_BEFORE_9.6> sudo apt-mark hold engineering-requirements-management-doors
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list engineering-requirements-management-doors sudo dnf downgrade engineering-requirements-management-doors-<VERSION_BEFORE_9.6> sudo dnf versionlock add engineering-requirements-management-doors
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.
