hcltech aion UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.0.0 and < 2.1.2

Fixed in: 2.1.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 2.1.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade aion

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 2.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison aion sudo apt install aion=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold aion

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

dnf --showduplicates list aion sudo dnf downgrade aion-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add aion

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.
