rti connext professional UPGRADE

Affected: >= 5.3.0 and < 7.7.0

Fixed in: 7.7.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 5.3.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy connext-professional || rpm -q connext-professional || connext-professional --version

sudo dnf upgrade connext-professional

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 5.3.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison connext-professional sudo apt install connext-professional=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.3.0> sudo apt-mark hold connext-professional

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

dnf --showduplicates list connext-professional sudo dnf downgrade connext-professional-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.3.0> sudo dnf versionlock add connext-professional

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.
