apt-cache madison artifactory
sudo apt install artifactory=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.161.0>
sudo apt-mark hold artifactory

dnf --showduplicates list artifactory
sudo dnf downgrade artifactory-<VERSION_BEFORE_7.161.0>
sudo dnf versionlock add artifactory
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.
