Special Notes

Security Updates

  • This release includes security updates. Details of the issues, including affected versions and mitigation information, can be obtained within Tanium's Support Portal or by contacting your TAM.

New Features

  • The installer for the Tanium Server has modified its End User License Agreement (EULA).
  • The Tanium Server will only keep a 30 day record of known endpoints in SystemStatus.txt while in the past th is file was never flushed of old records, which would allow it to grow without bounds and turn specially large in environments with non-persistent and volatile clients. Deployments with a need to keep a longer record of past endpoints are suggested to use Connect and, only when strictly necessary, use the configuration parameter system_status_client_age_limit_days to extend this retention period.

Improvements

  • Tanium platform components now use OpenSSL v1.0.2x.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a limitation in the Tanium Client installer on Windows by which it failed managing the permissions of the installation directory when the local Users group had been renamed, throwing the error: Unable to revoke permissions for Users group: Cannot build new access control list.
  • Fixed an issue with the Tanium TDownloader where it failed to download UNC directories when the requested path's letter casing did not match that of the share being accessed, simply resulting in the error message: boost::filesystem::file_size: The request is not supported.
  • The Tanium Server installer on Windows will grant ownership and permissions to SYSTEM on the installation directory, this is to fix access settings on deployments which may have used inherited permissions in the past.

Known Issues and Workarounds

  • None.
