SVM On-prem R2 v7.6.1.29 is now available for download. This new version of the on-prem edition is compatible with the latest version of the Patch Publisher v7.22.1264. The latest release of SVM now supports installation on RHEL 8. Along with this, all the recent updates made to the SVM Cloud and Patch Publisher will now be available to our SVM on-prem customers through this update. Some important enhancements include:
Software Vulnerability Manager User Interface Enhancements
- The Smart Group Criteria now includes a new filter option, 'Does Not Contain'. This enhancement allows us to list items such as hosts, sitenames, vendor names, or product names that do not contain the specified text entered in the Criteria field.
- In the Patch Deployment Status grid, template naming convention has been enhanced for the subscribed patches providing clarity and alignment. This enhancement will streamline your workflow, making it easier to identify which package got deployed.
- A new "Vulnerabilities Found vs. Vulnerabilities Resolved" widget has been introduced on the Dashboard page. This widget displays a monthly comparison of vulnerability data, enhancing the visibility of detected and resolved vulnerabilities. Predefined color codes are used to make tracking and comparing these metrics easier.
- Support for CVSS v4 Score We've added support for CVSS v4 scores, enhancing our vulnerability assessment and prioritization capabilities. This update improves the existing standard by incorporating the latest CVSS v4 scores for Secunia advisories. These scores are now visible in the User Interface (UI) across various sections, including Smart Groups, Completed Scans, Reports, and other relevant areas.
Patch Publisher Enhancements
- Support for Tanium Unified Endpoint Management System We have extended our support for one more distribution system in Patch Publisher: Tanium. This update enables you to configure and publish SPS and VPM patches to the Tanium Unified Endpoint Management System. Once the connection to Tanium is set up, you can use either Patch Automation or the Create Patch Wizard to publish SPS and VPM patches to the specified endpoint management system (Tanium).
- Added Support for Updating the Minimum Version in Applicability Rules The Applicability Criteria - Paths panel in the Create Update Package Wizard now allows you to update the minimum version for applicability rules. The edited minimum version values will be applied to the patching process for the specified endpoint system.
