    From a CentOS 8 content perspective, we currently have the ability to “remediate all”. This enables you to patch CentOS 8 systems to latest, which is the recommended best practice approach for CentOS. At present, you don’t have the ability to select individual patches and deploy them or to conduct a vulnerability scan to identify a list of vulnerabilities on your CentOS 8 systems. You can, however, identify that these systems have vulnerabilities and then remediate all of them. In addition, you will not be able to report on which vulnerabilities have been remediated but would be able to confirm that systems were no longer vulnerable.

    • Versions:
      • 10 SP2- 15 SP1
    • Editions:
      • Server
      • Desktop
    • Bit Version:
      • 32/64-bit
    • Processor architecture:
      • Intel
    • Versions:
      • 7.2
      • 7.1
      • 6.1
    • Editions:
      • All
    • Bit Version:
      • 32/64-bit
    • Processor architecture:
      • POWER
  • You must have the appropriate Java libraries installed:
    • All Unix endpoints: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 or later.
    • All macOS endpoints: Java Development Kit (JDK) 7 or later.
    • Linux endpoints: JRE 7 or later or OpenJDK 7 or later.

Python 3.x

For RHEL 8, CentOS 8 and SUSE Linux 15 SP1, Python 3.x is required on the endpoint, in addition to the Python rpm module. Python 2.x was installed by default with earlier versions of these operating systems, but Python 3.x is not.

If Python 3.x is not installed, the DAU will complete successfully, but with no results.

To install on RHEL 8 and CentOS 8, use the following commands:

  • dnf install python3
  • dnf install python3-rpm (may get a message “nothing to do”)

To install on SUSE Linux:

  • zypper install python3
  • zypper install python3-rpm (may get a message “nothing to do”)
