Timeline

broadcom rabbitmq server UPGRADE
Affected: >= 3.13.0 and < 3.13.15 · >= 4.0.0 and < 4.0.20 · >= 4.1.0 and < 4.1.11 · >= 4.2.0 and < 4.2.6
Fixed in: 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.13.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy rabbitmq-server || rpm -q rabbitmq-server || rabbitmq-server --version
2. UPGRADE to 3.13.15 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade rabbitmq-server
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade rabbitmq-server
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 3.13.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison rabbitmq-server sudo apt install rabbitmq-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.13.0> sudo apt-mark hold rabbitmq-server
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list rabbitmq-server sudo dnf downgrade rabbitmq-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.13.0> sudo dnf versionlock add rabbitmq-server
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.
