vmware spring data jpa UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.0.0 and < 3.4.16 · >= 3.5.0 and < 3.5.14 · >= 4.0.0 and < 4.0.6.1 · >= 4.1.0 and < 4.1.0.1

Fixed in: 3.4.16, 3.5.14, 4.0.6.1, 4.1.0.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.0.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 3.4.16 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade spring-data-jpa

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 3.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison spring-data-jpa sudo apt install spring-data-jpa=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold spring-data-jpa

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

dnf --showduplicates list spring-data-jpa sudo dnf downgrade spring-data-jpa-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add spring-data-jpa

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.
