Given SRU and backport team policies, having a newer version of
keepalived in bionic seems pretty unlikely. SRU policy favors backports
of specific fixes rather than entire package backports, while the
backports team generally discourages backports of libraries or services
since they can randomly break other software using them.
So, the most practical route forward would be to identify the patch(es)
needed for fixing the particular issue at hand, and go through the
regular SRU process. I am, unfortunately, completely unfamiliar with
keepalived, but attached is a list of upstream comments mentioning "VIP"
since the v.1.3.9 release, which I generated like this:
git log --grep="VIP" v1.3.9.. > /tmp/vip_commits.txt
The next step would be for someone more familiar than me, to review the
list and identify 1 or 2 patches worth testing. Then apply the patch to
the bionic keepalived package and test for a fix. After we know what
patch is needed, an SRU request can be placed to have it released for
all users.
