Affected: >= 8.5 and < 8.5.5.30 · >= 9.0 and < 9.0.5.29
Fixed in: 8.5.5.30, 9.0.5.29
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 8.5
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy websphere-application-server || rpm -q websphere-application-server || websphere-application-server --version

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 8.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison websphere-application-server
sudo apt install websphere-application-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_8.5>
sudo apt-mark hold websphere-application-server
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list websphere-application-server
sudo dnf downgrade websphere-application-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_8.5>

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.
