ibm qradar wincollect UPGRADE

Affected: >= 10.0 and < 10.1.14

Fixed in: 10.1.14

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 10.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy qradar-wincollect || rpm -q qradar-wincollect || qradar-wincollect --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 10.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison qradar-wincollect sudo apt install qradar-wincollect=<VERSION_BEFORE_10.0> sudo apt-mark hold qradar-wincollect

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

dnf --showduplicates list qradar-wincollect sudo dnf downgrade qradar-wincollect-<VERSION_BEFORE_10.0> sudo dnf versionlock add qradar-wincollect

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.
