Bug Fixes

  • Fixes a crash on AIX systems where a memory-alignment defect in the bundled protobuf library could cause a segmentation fault.
  • Fixes a crash in the Tanium Client on Windows endpoints with .NET Framework 1.1 installed, where the sensor sub-process would fail to start and every sensor would return Failed to send to sensor child process: broken pipe.
  • Fixes a race condition in the Tanium Client download chunk cache where a cached file entry could be released without holding the cache lock, corrupting the internal age-list and crashing during cleanup.
  • Fixes an issue in the Tanium Client where an inter-process communication socket file might be created outside the client's installation directory.
  • Fixes an issue on Solaris systems where incorrect locale settings caused client extensions to fail.
  • Fixes a failed assertion in the Tanium Client's handling of throttled download reconnections, which appeared as "error: assertion 'm_bytesLeftToThrottle == 0'" in the client logs.
  • Improves the Tanium Client's handling of timers on registration errors that did not trigger a backoff.
  • Ensures that all filesystem API calls on Linux are made using 64-bit integer values.
