Tanium Cloud Release Date: 26 October 2021

New Features

  • Patch support added for macOS 10.14 and later.
  • This adds macOS support for the components Patch customers are accustomed to, including scanning, deployments, deployment templates, patch lists, block lists, and maintenance windows.
    • Note 1: Existing Patch customers will need to enable the new Mac functionality using the Settings > Operating Systems > macOS check box.
    • Note 2: Existing Patch customers may need to expand the “Patch” and “Tanium End-User Notifications” Action Groups to include the newly supported operating systems.
  • End-User Notifications support added for macOS devices in Patch.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed an issue that could prevent Limiting Groups from being required when adding Targeting Criteria to an existing deployment. Note that this change enforces this same validation on the API side that should have always existed.
  • Fixed the format of dates in patch csv exports from Patch Lists, Block Lists, and Deployments. The format is YYYY/MM/DD and can easily be sorted as a date or text.
  • Fixed an issue in the CVE filter for all patch grids (Patches, Patch Lists, Blocks lists, Deployment Preview) that prevented filtering by a single CVE at a time

Known Issues

  • End-User notifications may have significant delays or not appear at all on macOS 10.15 (Catalina). This will be addressed soon with an End-User Notifications update.
  • Some Mac patches include a release date of “Not Available”, especially with macOS 11.x and 12.x (Big Sur and Monterey). Those patches will not be included in any Patch Lists or Block Lists that use Release Date as criteria. For example, a patch with Release Date of “Not Available” would NOT match the “Release Date greater than 10/01/2021” criteria. By the same token, it would not match the same sort of query for any operator on the Release Date field. A future Patch upgrade will add release dates for most Mac patches, thus allowing the Release Date comparison to work.

Tanium Cloud Release Date: 12 October 2021

Improvements

  • Added more detailed child statuses as hover-over visualizations in deployment status.
  • Added the option to drill down to Online Only or All results for drill downs in Patch.
  • Added validation for all patch file URLs when Tanium Scan for Windows is synchronized against a WSUS server. This avoids failing an entire deployment if the WSUS backend is missing one of the patch files where it should be. If WSUS is configured as the backend for Tanium Scan for Windows, endpoints will NOT be able to install any patches that do not have a valid URL, but other patches will succeed.
  • Added logging and csv output for any EULA files or patch files that are expected, but missing from the WSUS server if WSUS is used as the backend for Tanium Scan for Windows.
  • Added Tanium Scan for Windows file validation logs to support bundle in Tanium Patch.
  • Improved the reliability of Tanium Scan for Windows synchronization against a WSUS server by adding automatic retries when the database is busy.
  • Removed the “Uninstallable” column in the Patches grid. While some MS patches are uninstallable and some are not, the data provided from the Windows Update Agent was highly unreliable and thus not useful to display. This change does not impact the actual uninstall functionality at all.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed an issue that caused a Linux Repo Scan to not fail gracefully if no repositories were configured.
  • Fixed an issue that caused all new Patch Lists to get added to the Patch Content Set until they were edited again.
  • Fixed an issue that caused special characters to appear encoded in Maintenance Window titles.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause certificate validation failure when synchronizing Tanium Scan for Windows with an https WSUS server, even when the proper certificate was present.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Computer Groups to be deselected if the Computer Group edit modal was left open long enough.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause deprecated failed jobs to reappear as failed jobs in the workbench after service restart.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Linux endpoints to constantly change Deployment status between Downloading and Waiting for Maintenance Window.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Patch scans on endpoints to hang and show In Progress in rare cases on certain systems.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause some Linux scans to fail if the cache became outdated, instead of updating the cache and then scanning.
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent reissuing certain deployments.
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent scheduled reboots in SUSE after patches are installed.
  • Fixed an issue that could show the previous day's date in the first entry in the "Next 5 Instances" preview for Maintenance Windows.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the "Targeted Client Currently Online" Deployment preview value from loading for limited Patch users, like Deployment Authors.
  • Fixed an issue that under certain circumstances could cause the endpoint process to wait indefinitely for the Windows Update Service to stop.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause endpoint data (patch applicability, statuses, etc.) to stop loading into the Patch workbench in rare circumstances.
  • Fixed an issue where Direct Download was always set to false for MS Online Scan Configurations.

Tanium Cloud Release Date: 4 February 2021

New Features

  • Added support for Red Hat 8, CentOS 8, Oracle Linux 8, and SUSE 11-15. The new feature must be enabled at Settings > Operating Systems > RPM Patch to support these Linux distributions.
  • A single configuration item for each configuration type (scan configuration, maintenance window, patch list, block list, deployment, or deployment template) can be created that covers all of the supported Linux operating systems. For example, one deployment can be created that addresses all supported Linux operating systems.
  • Linux repositories now have targeting applied to them so that repositories for multiple operating systems and versions can be added to the same scan configuration. Targeting logic for repositories is best if it focuses on the complete set of systems that a repository could be used for. Scan configurations can further limit where they actually get used. Existing repositories will be migrated to the new RPM-based model by adding targeting.
  • Added new default repositories for newly supported operating systems.
  • Added New “Patch - Coverage Status Details” sensor to provide more detailed client health information for endpoints reporting “Needs Attention”. For example, systems with Corrupt RPMDB, Out of Date Scan Results, and Out of Date Patch tools Versions are now exposed.

Improvements

  • Added many user interface improvements and bug fixes.
  • Changed “Yum Repositories” to “Repositories” since DNF and zypper repositories are also now available.
  • Changed “Patch - Yum Repositories” sensor to “Patch - Repositories.”
  • Changed “Patch - Yum Variables” sensor to “Patch - Repository Variables.”
  • Improved Linux scan and deployment error messaging.
  • Endpoints with a targeted Tanium Scan configuration will skip to the next prioritized and targeted scan configuration if none of the repositories available in the Tanium Scan Configuration apply to it. This provides the ability to have a fall back Repo Scan for systems without Tanium Scan repositories.
  • Patch Support bundle now includes Endpoint Configuration and Interact bundles as well.
  • Patch Operators can now edit Tanium Scan for Windows configuration.
  • Patch Operators can now create and modify Linux repositories.
  • Updated default repositories for Red Hat and Oracle Linux to hardcode the “$releasever” variable to known values per supported version.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed an issue that prevented the endpoint patch process from updating until after a restart on upgrade.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Linux endpoints with FIPS 140-2 enabled from successfully scanning.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Linux Patch scans from using the cachedir configuration defined on the endpoint.

Known Issues and Workarounds

  • SUSE 11 SP3+ support is limited to scanning only.
  • Disabling the “Use repositories configured on endpoint” option in repository scan configurations may not work with certain SUSE and Red Hat 8 repositories. As always, we recommend using the Tanium Scan scan method or enabling the "Use repositories configured on endpoint" option for repository scans.
  • CentOS 8 patches currently lack metadata like Advisory ID, CVE ID, and patch classification (e.g. security, package, recommended). This also prevents using the “Install All Security Patches” option with CentOS 8.
  • Deployment preview grids will switch patch applicability counts back and forth from targeted computers to all computers if you wait on the preview page long enough. This does not affect the actual deployment. It simply shows both lists in the user interface.
  • Repository snapshots are not yet supported for SLES/SLED repositories.
  • Tanium Scan for Linux is not compatible with LibZypp Service Plugins. Tanium Scan will scan repositories provided by the plugin, but will not have access to the metadata in these repositories, which leads to scan results with incomplete metadata. Patch list applicability reports packages with incomplete metadata, but Patch cannot install them. If possible, uninstall the plugin and create repositories using Tanium.
