ivanti virtual traffic manager DOWNGRADE

Affected: 22.2 · 22.3 · 22.3 r2 · 22.5 r1 · 22.6 r1 · 22.7 r1

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 22.2

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy virtual-traffic-manager || rpm -q virtual-traffic-manager || virtual-traffic-manager --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 22.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison virtual-traffic-manager sudo apt install virtual-traffic-manager=<VERSION_BEFORE_22.2> sudo apt-mark hold virtual-traffic-manager

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

dnf --showduplicates list virtual-traffic-manager sudo dnf downgrade virtual-traffic-manager-<VERSION_BEFORE_22.2> sudo dnf versionlock add virtual-traffic-manager

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.

Exact fixes by distribution

A distro patch exists: prefer upgrading over downgrading.
