Affected: 7.3.1

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 7.3.1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy sscms || rpm -q sscms || sscms --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 7.3.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison sscms sudo apt install sscms=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.3.1> sudo apt-mark hold sscms

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list sscms sudo dnf downgrade sscms-<VERSION_BEFORE_7.3.1> sudo dnf versionlock add sscms

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.
