Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.7.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy spring-data-commons || rpm -q spring-data-commons || spring-data-commons --version

2. UPGRADE to 2.7.20 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade spring-data-commons

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade spring-data-commons

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 2.7.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison spring-data-commons sudo apt install spring-data-commons=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.7.0> sudo apt-mark hold spring-data-commons

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

dnf --showduplicates list spring-data-commons sudo dnf downgrade spring-data-commons-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.7.0> sudo dnf versionlock add spring-data-commons

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.
