onesoftnet sudobot UPGRADE

Affected: >= 9.0.0 and < 9.26.7

Fixed in: 9.26.7

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 9.0.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 9.26.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

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 9.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison sudobot sudo apt install sudobot=<VERSION_BEFORE_9.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold sudobot

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

dnf --showduplicates list sudobot sudo dnf downgrade sudobot-<VERSION_BEFORE_9.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add sudobot

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.
