adobe bridge UPGRADE
Affected: < 15.1.7 · >= 16.0 and < 16.0.6
Fixed in: 15.1.7, 16.0.6
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 16.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy bridge || rpm -q bridge || bridge --version
2. UPGRADE to 15.1.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade bridge
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

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 16.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison bridge
sudo apt install bridge=<VERSION_BEFORE_16.0>
sudo apt-mark hold bridge
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list bridge
sudo dnf downgrade bridge-<VERSION_BEFORE_16.0>
sudo dnf versionlock add bridge
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.
