ibm security verify directory UPGRADE

Affected: >= 10.0.0 and <= 10.0.3

Fixed in: newer than 10.0.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 10.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy security-verify-directory || rpm -q security-verify-directory || security-verify-directory --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 10.0.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade security-verify-directory

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade security-verify-directory

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 10.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison security-verify-directory sudo apt install security-verify-directory=<VERSION_BEFORE_10.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold security-verify-directory

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

dnf --showduplicates list security-verify-directory sudo dnf downgrade security-verify-directory-<VERSION_BEFORE_10.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add security-verify-directory

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.
