Tenable is pleased to announce the release of Tenable Patch Management 9.3.968.19, featuring major feature upgrades, new database server requirements, quality improvements, critical security, and bug fixes across the platform. Tenable strongly recommends upgrading to 9.3.968.19.

Key Release Highlights

  • Cross Platform Installation Enhancements

    • Cross platform installers now support runtime parameters instead of updating and distributing a config file, allowing installations with switches similar to the Windows installer.

    • Please refer to Tenable Patch Client Installation and Uninstallation in the official documentation for detailed instructions.

  • New Client Auto-Upgrade Feature

    • New auto-upgrade process has been developed to get clients up to the version of the server. This will work for all 9.3+ clients. Previous versions will need to use the old process to get clients to 9.3. The old process of auto-upgrade on Windows client will be deprecated in a future release.

    • Please refer to the Upgrade Tenable Patch Clients Using Automatic Deployments in the official documentation for detailed instructions.

  • Minimum Version of SQL Server Changed

    • Minimum SQL Server version has changed. SQL Server must be at least SQL Server 2017. Also, the Adaptiva database compatibility level should be 140 or higher. Tenable recommends that SQL Server 2019 or later be used with compatibility level 150 or higher.

    • Please refer to the Database Requirements and Configurations in the official documentation.

  • Fix for Missing DLL Causing Dell Driver Installation Failures

    • Resolves an issue where Dell drivers failed to install and Compliance Status showed "Non-Compliant" on Clients running Tenable Patch Management 9.2.XXX due to a missing DLL. The update in this release restores the required DLL, ensuring proper functionality for new installations going forward. Please note: Upgraded clients from version 9.1 or 9.0 do include this DLL and will not experience the issue.

  • Resolved SQL Injection Vulnerability found in Tenable Server 9.1, 9.2, and Prior Versions

    • Fixed a SQL injection vulnerability in the login process affecting versions prior to 9.2.XXX, 9.1.XXX, and prior versions. The issue was resolved by implementing parameterized queries. Therefore, Tenable strongly recommends upgrading to 9.3.968.19. See the related Tenable Security Advisory here.
