eclipse vert.x UPGRADE

Affected: >= 4.5.0 and < 4.5.35 · >= 5.0.0 and < 5.1.10 · 5.2.0

Fixed in: 4.5.35, 5.1.10

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 4.5.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy vert.x || rpm -q vert.x || vert.x --version

2. UPGRADE to 4.5.35 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade vert.x

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade vert.x

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 4.5.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison vert.x sudo apt install vert.x=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.5.0> sudo apt-mark hold vert.x

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

dnf --showduplicates list vert.x sudo dnf downgrade vert.x-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.5.0> sudo dnf versionlock add vert.x

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.
