Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

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.
