ibm i access client solutions UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.1.2 and < 1.1.9.14

Fixed in: 1.1.9.14

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.1.2

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy i-access-client-solutions || rpm -q i-access-client-solutions || i-access-client-solutions --version

2. UPGRADE to 1.1.9.14 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade i-access-client-solutions

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade i-access-client-solutions

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 1.1.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison i-access-client-solutions sudo apt install i-access-client-solutions=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.1.2> sudo apt-mark hold i-access-client-solutions

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

dnf --showduplicates list i-access-client-solutions sudo dnf downgrade i-access-client-solutions-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.1.2> sudo dnf versionlock add i-access-client-solutions

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.
