wso2 identity server DOWNGRADE

Affected: 5.2.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 5.2.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy identity-server || rpm -q identity-server || identity-server --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 5.2.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison identity-server sudo apt install identity-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.2.0> sudo apt-mark hold identity-server

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

dnf --showduplicates list identity-server sudo dnf downgrade identity-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.2.0> sudo dnf versionlock add identity-server

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.
