amazon aws cloud development kit UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.142.0 and < 2.148.1

Fixed in: 2.148.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.142.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy aws-cloud-development-kit || rpm -q aws-cloud-development-kit || aws-cloud-development-kit --version

2. UPGRADE to 2.148.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade aws-cloud-development-kit

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade aws-cloud-development-kit

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 2.142.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison aws-cloud-development-kit sudo apt install aws-cloud-development-kit=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.142.0> sudo apt-mark hold aws-cloud-development-kit

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

dnf --showduplicates list aws-cloud-development-kit sudo dnf downgrade aws-cloud-development-kit-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.142.0> sudo dnf versionlock add aws-cloud-development-kit

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.
