qnap video station UPGRADE

Affected: >= 5.8.0 and < 5.8.8

Fixed in: 5.8.8

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 5.8.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison video-station sudo apt install video-station=<VERSION_BEFORE_5.8.0> sudo apt-mark hold video-station

dnf --showduplicates list video-station sudo dnf downgrade video-station-<VERSION_BEFORE_5.8.0> sudo dnf versionlock add video-station

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.
