Tanium Patch 3.5.180.0000

Release Date: 19 October 2021

Improvements

  • Added more detailed child statuses as hover-over visualizations in deployment status.
  • Added the option to drill down to Online Only or All results for drill downs in Patch.
  • Added validation for all patch file URLs when Tanium Scan for Windows is synchronized against a WSUS server. This avoids failing an entire deployment if the WSUS backend is missing one of the patch files where it should be. If WSUS is configured as the backend for Tanium Scan for Windows, endpoints will NOT be able to install any patches that do not have a valid URL, but other patches will succeed.
  • Added logging and csv output for any EULA files or patch files that are expected, but missing from the WSUS server if WSUS is used as the backend for Tanium Scan for Windows.
  • Added Tanium Scan for Windows file validation logs to support bundle in Tanium Patch.
  • Improved the reliability of Tanium Scan for Windows synchronization against a WSUS server by adding automatic retries when the database is busy.
  • Removed the “Uninstallable” column in the Patches grid. While some MS patches are uninstallable and some are not, the data provided from the Windows Update Agent was highly unreliable and thus not useful to display. This change does not impact the actual uninstall functionality at all.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed an issue that caused a Linux Repo Scan to not fail gracefully if no repositories were configured.
  • Fixed an issue that caused all new Patch Lists to get added to the Patch Content Set until they were edited again.
  • Fixed an issue that caused special characters to appear encoded in Maintenance Window titles.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause certificate validation failure when synchronizing Tanium Scan for Windows with an https WSUS server, even when the proper certificate was present.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Computer Groups to be deselected if the Computer Group edit modal was left open long enough.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause deprecated failed jobs to reappear as failed jobs in the workbench after service restart.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Linux endpoints to constantly change Deployment status between Downloading and Waiting for Maintenance Window.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Patch scans on endpoints to hang and show In Progress in rare cases on certain systems.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause some Linux scans to fail if the cache became outdated, instead of updating the cache and then scanning.
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent reissuing certain deployments.
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent scheduled reboots in SUSE after patches are installed.
  • Fixed an issue that could show the previous day's date in the first entry in the "Next 5 Instances" preview for Maintenance Windows.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the "Targeted Client Currently Online" Deployment preview value from loading for limited Patch users, like Deployment Authors.
  • Fixed an issue that under certain circumstances could cause the endpoint process to wait indefinitely for the Windows Update Service to stop.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause endpoint data (patch applicability, statuses, etc.) to stop loading into the Patch workbench in rare circumstances.
  • Fixed an issue where Direct Download was always set to false for MS Online Scan Configurations.
