An attacker can negotiate permessage-defla

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)

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.
