combodo itop UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.0.0 and < 3.2.2

Fixed in: 3.2.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.0.0

Note

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

apt-cache madison itop sudo apt install itop=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold itop

dnf --showduplicates list itop sudo dnf downgrade itop-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add itop

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.
