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 6.4.0.00 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison safer-payments sudo apt install safer-payments=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.4.0.00> sudo apt-mark hold safer-payments

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

dnf --showduplicates list safer-payments sudo dnf downgrade safer-payments-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.4.0.00> sudo dnf versionlock add safer-payments

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.
