Timeline

cisco identity services engine UPGRADE
Affected: >= 3.1.0 and < 3.3.0 · 3.3.0 patch1 · 3.3.0 patch10 · 3.3.0 patch11 · 3.3.0 patch2 · 3.3.0 patch3 · 3.3.0 patch4 · 3.3.0 patch5
Fixed in: 3.3.0
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.1.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy identity-services-engine || rpm -q identity-services-engine || identity-services-engine --version
2. UPGRADE to 3.3.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade identity-services-engine
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade identity-services-engine
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 3.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison identity-services-engine sudo apt install identity-services-engine=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.1.0> sudo apt-mark hold identity-services-engine
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list identity-services-engine sudo dnf downgrade identity-services-engine-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add identity-services-engine
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.
