envoyproxy envoy UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.26.0 and < 1.35.13 · >= 1.36.0 and < 1.36.9 · >= 1.37.0 and < 1.37.5 · >= 1.38.0 and < 1.38.3

Fixed in: 1.35.13, 1.36.9, 1.37.5, 1.38.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.26.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 1.35.13 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade envoy

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 1.26.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison envoy sudo apt install envoy=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.26.0> sudo apt-mark hold envoy

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

dnf --showduplicates list envoy sudo dnf downgrade envoy-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.26.0> sudo dnf versionlock add envoy

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.
