Affected: < 6.8.119 · >= 25.0.1 and < 25.0.20

Fixed in: 6.8.119, 25.0.20

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 25.0.1

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 25.0.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison group-office sudo apt install group-office=<VERSION_BEFORE_25.0.1> sudo apt-mark hold group-office

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

dnf --showduplicates list group-office sudo dnf downgrade group-office-<VERSION_BEFORE_25.0.1> sudo dnf versionlock add group-office

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.
