wireshark wireshark UPGRADE
Affected: >= 4.6.0 and < 4.6.8
Fixed in: 4.6.8
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 4.6.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy wireshark || rpm -q wireshark || wireshark --version
2. UPGRADE to 4.6.8 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade wireshark
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade wireshark
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 4.6.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison wireshark
sudo apt install wireshark=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.6.0>
sudo apt-mark hold wireshark
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list wireshark
sudo dnf downgrade wireshark-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.6.0>
sudo dnf versionlock add wireshark
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.
