Tanium Client 7.6.4.2086

  • Tanium Cloud availability date: October 1, 2024.
  • On-premises availability date: N/A.

Special Notes

  • N/A.

Security Updates

  • N/A.

New Features

  • The self-signed certificates that Tanium components generate on installation will now only be valid for a period of one year. This is done to comply with CSPN certification requirements.

Improvements

  • The Tanium Client installer on Windows now replaces the Tanium Client service binary when possible, and now removes and readds the service only when deemed necessary.
  • Improves performance of sensor execution in macOS Tanium Clients by reducing interactions with Gatekeeper and runtime protection on macOS.
  • Tanium components have improved handling of operations on busy SQLite databases.
  • Tanium components now ship with zlib v1.3.1.
  • Tanium components now ship with OpenSSL v3.2.3.
  • Tanium components now ship with libexpat v2.6.3.
  • Tanium components now ship with curl v8.10.1 libraries.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes a change in behavior in the Tanium Client in which it appended a "TLS ###" suffix to the common name of its certificates, which appears to cause problems with some certificate scanners.
  • Changes the way in which the Tanium Client terminates sensor and action processes, ensuring that their whole process group receives a SIGKILL after the advisory SIGTERM sent to them, even if the initial SIGTERM appears to have been successful.
  • Whenever possible the Tanium Client will try to use the same .sh file inode to execute shell sensors in macOS, avoiding the invocation of Gatekeeper, which slows down execution and sometimes causes undesirable pop-ups to appear on-screen during a protection check.
  • Fixes an issue in the Tanium Client where it would not honor messages from the Tanium Server indicating that a CDN download is not yet available and that it should fall back to legacy download mechanisms.

Known Issues and Workarounds

  • N/A.
