Since a couple of days I have a VPC running by the use of the Metabase pre-install on the Ubuntu image from the Digital Ocean Marketplace. One hour ago I was informed by Metabase that there has been a security vulnerability been found and reported which they fixed. Since I have Metabase running on a Ubuntu server I’m wondering if it’s sufficient to ‘patch’ the packages through the Ubuntu terminal, or if there is anything else required to patch this current, but future vulnerabilities aswell?
I did scan through the apt list --upgradable, but couldn’t find any spicific packages which I know are related to Metabase.
PS: Metabase’s security issue mentions this message: If you are using the open source edition of Metabase, you can access the latest patched release version at https://downloads.metabase.com/v0.46.6.1/metabase.jar or via the docker image metabase/metabase:latest or metabase/metabase:v0.46.6.1

Hi there,
I’ve just created a new Metabase server from the Marketplace and if your setup is the same, you would need to follow these steps here:
-
Take a backup of your Droplet so that you could revert back in case that anything goes wrong!
-
Then start by stopping the Metabase service:
systemctl stop metabase.service
- Access the Metabase directory:
cd /opt/metabase/
- Backup the old Metabase
jarfile:
mv metabase.jar metabase.jar-bak
- Download the new
jarfile:
wget https://downloads.metabase.com/v0.46.6.1/metabase.jar
- Start the service again:
systemctl start metabase.service
- Check the status of the service:
systemctl status metabase.service
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
