es iperf3 DOWNGRADE

Affected: 3.17.1

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.17.1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy iperf3 || rpm -q iperf3 || iperf3 --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.17.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison iperf3 sudo apt install iperf3=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.17.1> sudo apt-mark hold iperf3

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list iperf3 sudo dnf downgrade iperf3-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.17.1> sudo dnf versionlock add iperf3

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.

netapp ontap 9 MITIGATE

Affected: all versions

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: no unaffected older release

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy ontap-9 || rpm -q ontap-9 || ontap-9 --version

No fixed or unaffected release known

Apply the vendor mitigation from the advisory, disable the affected feature, or restrict network access.

netapp hci compute node MITIGATE

Affected: all versions

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: no unaffected older release

Check your OS release
