Hi, after install a RHSA security patch, I want to downgrade it with an ansible's playbook. How to do this? Because I know that yum can downgrade package with the package's name or history ID, but if i want downgrade without know ID or package that RHSA have installed? Thanks

"An RHSA security patch" is not the name of any particular package.
There are a stack of such patches:

I suspect you'll need to identify the particular patch to revert it.

Out of curiosity, what is the rationale behind this?
