Affected: 1.6.2

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.6.2

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy my-teditor || rpm -q my-teditor || my-teditor --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.6.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

dnf --showduplicates list my-teditor sudo dnf downgrade my-teditor-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.6.2> sudo dnf versionlock add my-teditor

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.
