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 7.6.2.1228)


Tanium Server for Windows and Linux v7.6.2.1249

  • Tanium Cloud availability date: N/A.
  • On-premises availability date: July 16, 2024.

Special Notes

  • The Tanium Server now uses Console (Version 3.7.15.0000).
  • 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.

New Features

  • Offers new question result processing metrics in the Tanium Server: report_message_queue_bytes, question_report_batch_received_size, question_legacy_question_reports_received and question_legacy_string_reports_received.

Improvements

  • Upgrades OpenSSL and its dependencies to v3.2.2.
  • The Tanium Server and Module Server now ship with PostgreSQL v16.3 libraries.
  • Improves TLS performance by reducing contention in OpenSSL objects during execution.
  • Adds the GetResultDifferences scope to the Tanium Server's TBBAllocatorStats which would otherwise be tallied in the APIWorker scope.
  • The Tanium Server now allows the report_queue_size_limit global setting to be larger than 4GB. Large values for this setting are not recommended but are now possible.

Bug Fixes

  • Tanium Components now ship with libexpat v2.6.2.
  • Improves the performance of public key parsing in the OpenSSL v3 implementation.
  • Fixes an omission in the Content-Type response header for the session/login API on the Tanium Server.
  • Adds the missing "read server host" privilege which would otherwise cause the System User Service to create the needed API tokens for modules and services.

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.
