apache geode UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.1.0 and < 1.15.2

Fixed in: 1.15.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.1.0

1. Check installed version

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

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 1.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison geode sudo apt install geode=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.1.0> sudo apt-mark hold geode

dnf --showduplicates list geode sudo dnf downgrade geode-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add geode

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.
