progress flowmon anomaly detection system UPGRADE

Affected: >= 12.5.0 and < 12.5.6 · >= 13.0.0 and < 13.0.5

Fixed in: 12.5.6, 13.0.5

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 12.5.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy flowmon-anomaly-detection-system || rpm -q flowmon-anomaly-detection-system || flowmon-anomaly-detection-system --version

2. UPGRADE to 12.5.6 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade flowmon-anomaly-detection-system

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade flowmon-anomaly-detection-system

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 12.5.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison flowmon-anomaly-detection-system sudo apt install flowmon-anomaly-detection-system=<VERSION_BEFORE_12.5.0> sudo apt-mark hold flowmon-anomaly-detection-system

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

dnf --showduplicates list flowmon-anomaly-detection-system sudo dnf downgrade flowmon-anomaly-detection-system-<VERSION_BEFORE_12.5.0> sudo dnf versionlock add flowmon-anomaly-detection-system

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.
