Improvements

• Tanium Platform components now use Expat v2.4.8.
• Improved the multi-thread settings update guards in the Tanium Zone Server.
• The Tanium Installer removed misplaced END SQL commands which would result in log errors reporting No transaction in progress during database creation.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue in the Tanium Downloader where concurrent access to CRL lists in its SQLite database could produce the error SQLiteDatabase: gave up on busy handler after waiting 5s and fail a download and subsequent solution installation or upgrade.
• Fixed an issue in the Tanium Server API where modifying a Computer Group using a specific Persona would return the id of the modifier but not its designated name, as is expected.
• Fixed an issue with the Tanium Server which would keep it from starting up when encountering a malformed file under its SOAPUpload directory, logging InvalidUploadStateFile right before stopping.
• Fixed an omission in initializing the Content Set id in the processing of Computer Groups API.
• Fixed the Tanium Server authentication API to report the X_Forwarded_For IP address to identify the source of the request originator.
• Fixed an omission in the Tanium Server Question API where referencing the is_expired property as part of the desired sort order would result in the error: Invalid question field name: is_expired.
• Fixed an issue with access to the Tanium Server API using an API Token which would generate the log error Invalid value for user's persona when the token was associated with a deleted Persona. Now the API will simply deny authentication as it should.
• The Tanium Server API corrected an inconsistency between the /personas and /session/current responses where the first returned a setting named require_reauthentication_flag as singular where the second returned requires_reauthentication_flag as plural. Now both return this field label in the singular.
• Modified the Tanium Server and Module Server installers on Windows to avoid logging errors about missing certificates and signature verification when these elements are not yet available during installation.
• Fixed a condition in the Tanium Server where users that were auto-provisioned into the system were assigned unrestricted Computer Groups access instead of what their designated User Group specifies.
• Fixed a bug in the Tanium Server which could crash the system when processing strings received from clients.
