New Features

N/A.

Improvements

  • Tanium Platform components now ship with SQLite v3.42.0.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes incorrect determination of hash collisions in the Tanium Server when receiving results from case-insensitive sensors from legacy clients.
  • The Tanium Server question API will now return empty results for GetResultInfo and GetResultData requests on expired questions, being that such requests cannot be fulfilled anyway and would result in "Question cache not found" errors being logged for them.
  • Fixes a behavior in the Tanium Client by which it would always deliver its sensor statistics information to its reporting server instead of forwarding them to its connected peer.
  • Fixes an omission in the Tanium Server where it would not process incoming server_health_update messages received from zone servers.
  • Modified the output of the TaniumClient quarantine list command to match that of legacy versions, because there exist content sensors and packages that depend on the format of this output.
  • Fixes a condition where the Tanium Server might corrupt its new string cache bitmaps.
  • Fixes an omission by which the Tanium Server would not reflect updates received from legacy endpoints when an [RCU] resolution was received or a legacy hash collision was detected.
  • Implements a re-processing of sensor string files in the Tanium Server during upgrade to avoid case insensitive string hash mismatches which would cause [RCU] errors in question results.
  • Fixes a mismatch between server and client in the treatment of case insensitive sensor string hashing which would result in [RCU] errors which would never resolve in question results.
  • Introduces controls on the Tanium Client to determine the structure and content of string hash reports.
  • Fixes an omission in the Tanium Server where delayed/ future string reports would not be noticed in the resolution of missing strings.
  • Fixes a condition in the Tanium Client where it would incorrectly send a throttle control command which would risk breaking its established connections.
  • Adds necessary field keys in the new Tanium Server results cache needed to implement the required behavior for letter-case folding in sensor results.

Known Issues and Workarounds

  • The Tanium Client will fail to parse a PAC proxy file referenced by ProxyAutoConfigAddress when more than one proxy server is defined, logging "Failed to parse proxy name. Too many colons" at LogVerbosityLevel=41.
    Workaround: None. A fix for this issue is will be released with a new version of the Tanium Client post-v7.6.1.6432.
  • On upgrade from v7.4 clients v7.6.1 client releases may display an incompatibility with older OpenSSL v1 dependent client extensions. Tanium strongly encourages installation and upgrades to the latest release of v7.6.2+ clients, starting with 7.6.2.1204.
