freerdp freerdp UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.30.0 and < 3.32.0

Fixed in: 3.32.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.30.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 3.32.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade freerdp

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 3.30.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison freerdp sudo apt install freerdp=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.30.0> sudo apt-mark hold freerdp

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

dnf --showduplicates list freerdp sudo dnf downgrade freerdp-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.30.0> sudo dnf versionlock add freerdp

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.
