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 11.7.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison infosphere-information-server sudo apt install infosphere-information-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_11.7.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold infosphere-information-server

dnf --showduplicates list infosphere-information-server sudo dnf downgrade infosphere-information-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_11.7.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add infosphere-information-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.
