Thank you for choosing Tanium. The following Release Notes document changes between releases of the Tanium Server.
This platform release includes the release of both a Windows and Linux Tanium Server.
The previous version can be found here: Release Notes Tanium Server (Version 7.6.2.1204)


Tanium Server for Windows and Linux v7.6.2.1222

  • Tanium Cloud availability date: May 13, 2024.
  • On-premises availability date: May 16, 2024.

Special Notes

  • The Tanium Server now uses Console (Version 3.7.12.0000).
  • The use of TLS v1.3 in the Tanium server makes it incompatible with RSA keys shorter than 1024-bits, given that 2048-bits is the minimum security specification in this version of the TLS protocol. A Tanium server will fail to communicate with older external systems that are still using shorter key lengths.
  • Tanium discourages new installations of this software version on Windows 2012 and 2012-R2 given its End-Of-Life on 2023-10-10.

Security Updates

  • N/A.

Improvements

  • N/A.

Bug Fixes

  • The Tanium Zone Server Hub now implements a backoff strategy when it fails to connect to one or more Zone Servers, which would otherwise result in repeated attempts that would consume higher CPU resources.
  • The Tanium Server will no longer send superfluous peering messages to v314 protocol clients. The RecvSetNetConfig messages with a port number of zero to inhibit peering will no longer be sent, which slightly reduces bandwidth and greatly reduces confusion in those reading the logs.
  • Fixes an issue in the Tanium Server global setting API where a POST operation would clear its public_read_flag.
  • Fixes a problem in the Tanium Server where separated subnets were not evaluated correctly and would instruct clients to peer beyond their AddressMask:/24 when using intentional subnet configurations.
  • Changes the behavior in how the Tanium Server enforces restricted customer privileges settings in on-premises environments, where this should not be honored.
  • Fixes a condition in Tanium components communications where a process could spin and consume higher amounts of CPU when a TLS negotiation was terminated abnormally.
  • Fixes a problem in HSM-enabled Tanium Server configurations that would result in a running server where accessing its Console would just display an "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" and the server logs would show "ossl_x509_check_private_key:unknown key type" for the SOAPServer certificate in the system.

Known Issues and Workarounds

  • The Tanium Server has a problem in the unlikely event that different package files that happen to share identical chunks, leaving clients unable to download one or more of these files.
    Workaround: A definitive fix is being prepared to be made available in an upcoming SAR update, and in the meantime it has been established that a restart of the Tanium Servers in a deployment will clear up this condition.
