ganglia ganglia-web UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.7.3 and <= 3.7.5

Fixed in: newer than 3.7.5

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.7.3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy ganglia-web || rpm -q ganglia-web || ganglia-web --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 3.7.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison ganglia-web sudo apt install ganglia-web=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.7.3> sudo apt-mark hold ganglia-web

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

dnf --showduplicates list ganglia-web sudo dnf downgrade ganglia-web-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.7.3> sudo dnf versionlock add ganglia-web

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.
