2. UPGRADE to 11.4.11 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

sudo dnf upgrade mariadb

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 11.4.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison mariadb sudo apt install mariadb=<VERSION_BEFORE_11.4.1> sudo apt-mark hold mariadb

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

dnf --showduplicates list mariadb sudo dnf downgrade mariadb-<VERSION_BEFORE_11.4.1> sudo dnf versionlock add mariadb

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.
