owladmin owl admin UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.2.2 and <= 4.10.2

Fixed in: newer than 4.10.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.2.2

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy owl-admin || rpm -q owl-admin || owl-admin --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 4.10.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade owl-admin

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

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 3.2.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison owl-admin sudo apt install owl-admin=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.2.2> sudo apt-mark hold owl-admin

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

dnf --showduplicates list owl-admin sudo dnf downgrade owl-admin-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.2.2> sudo dnf versionlock add owl-admin

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.
