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 24.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison trust-protection-foundation sudo apt install trust-protection-foundation=<VERSION_BEFORE_24.1.0> sudo apt-mark hold trust-protection-foundation

dnf --showduplicates list trust-protection-foundation sudo dnf downgrade trust-protection-foundation-<VERSION_BEFORE_24.1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add trust-protection-foundation

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.
