adobe bridge UPGRADE

Affected: < 15.1.5 · >= 16.0 and < 16.0.3

Fixed in: 15.1.5, 16.0.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 16.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 15.1.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

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 16.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison bridge sudo apt install bridge=<VERSION_BEFORE_16.0> sudo apt-mark hold bridge

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

dnf --showduplicates list bridge sudo dnf downgrade bridge-<VERSION_BEFORE_16.0> sudo dnf versionlock add bridge

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.
