symfony ux UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.2.0 and < 2.36.0 · 3.0.0

Fixed in: 2.36.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.2.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 2.36.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade ux

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 2.2.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison ux sudo apt install ux=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.2.0> sudo apt-mark hold ux

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

dnf --showduplicates list ux sudo dnf downgrade ux-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.2.0> sudo dnf versionlock add ux

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.
