Agent 7.9.2.2 - March 10, 2026
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-14191 | Unix | UAGSRV | Fix a possible memory corruption when an application monitored by an Application Control Task is stopped immediately after the application is started. |
D-14197 | Unix | UFTP | Update the libSSH2 3pp vendor library used by UFTP to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
Agent 7.9.2.1 - February 10, 2026
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-13552 | IBM i | UAGSRV | Ensures that an Agent's configured BUSINESS_SERVICES are part of any HELLO message the Agent sends to the Controller. This change was specifically intended to fix an issue where a transient Linux Agent would lose business service information after temporarily going offline. A persistent Agent on any platform would also benefit from this change if, for example, it were inadvertently deleted from the Controller. |
Agent 7.9.2.0 - January 13, 2026
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
B-22140 | Unix | OMSSRV | Add support for OMS Message Database replication via the Raft protocol provided by the NuRaft library. This feature removes the requirement to have the OMS Message Database reside on a NFS-mounted, shared filesystem. That architecture will continue to be supported, however, and is still the default. For information on this new feature and how to configure it, see the following:
|
D-12850 | All | OMSSRV | Upgrade the OpenSSL library that Universal Agent uses to OpenSSL 3.0.18 to resolve outstanding CVEs. |
Agent 7.9.1.0 - December 9, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-14036 | All | UAGSRV | Ensure that an attempt to establish an improper SSL/TLS session over the affected Server application's component interface is handled gracefully. |
D-14051 | All | UAGSRV | Fixes an issue where the UAG Server's configured SERVICE_TIMEOUT value is ignored when receiving messages from OMS. This fix will decrease the time it takes for UAG Server to detect a dropped connection with OMS, which will in turn decrease connection recovery times. |
Agent 7.9.0.1 - November 11, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-09802 | Unix | UBROKER | When the path to a Universal Broker's info There were code changes made for this defect that are shared between Unix and Windows implementations. However, the Universal Agent for Windows uses TCP/IP for the Universal Broker's component interface. This means that the values saved in the |
D-13422 | Unix | OMSSRV | Prevent unauthorized access to OMS Server by denying connection attempts from a remote OMS Admin (OMSADMIN) utility. This will restrict OMSADMIN to execution on the OMS Server's system. |
D-13908 | Unix | OMSSRV | Fixes an issue introduced by changes delivered in UA 7.8.0.0 with B-20246 that could cause session negotiation to fail when 1) one of the affected Server components receives an unusually large number of session negotiation requests, and/or 2) multiple clients of one of the affected Server components tries to connect and negotiate a session over a very slow network. |
Agent 7.9.0.0 - September 30, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
B-18372 | Linux (AARCH64 only) | All | Provide Universal Agent for the Linux AARCH64 platform. |
B-18732 | Unix (except Solaris) | OMSSRV | Explicitly set and expose the OpenTelemetry schema URL used for traces and metrics exposed by the Universal Agent and Universal Extension tasks. Providing the schema URL with each trace message or metric provides information about the format of the data being exported and details the semantic conventions used by the OpenTelemetry library 3pp vendor library. |
B-22083 | IBM i | UAGSRV | Provides a change that removes restrictions on the number of environment variables that can be provided to a Unix or IBM i task. The previous implementation limited the number of environment variables to 2000 on the affected platforms, but Universal Agent will now recognize as many environment variables as the system supports. |
B-22115 | Unix | UDM | Implement TLS/SNI support for UDM to provide the ability for UDM and UDM Server to connect to an Agent running inside of a container. |
B-22163 | Unix (except Solaris) | OMSSRV | Add support to export traces and metrics in protobuf binary format. Provides the new OTEL_HTTP_TRACE_PROTOCOL and OTEL_HTTP_METRICS_PROTOCOL configuration options to switch between JSON and binary (the default) encoding. info Note that starting the UA 7.9.0.0 release, the default encoding has changed from JSON to protobuf binary. info Universal Extension tasks using OpenTelemetry features now require Python 3.8 or higher. |
B-22312 | IBM i | INSTALL | Compress distribution files with gzip instead of the compress utility to decrease file size. info Note that the file extension of affected distribution files has changed from .Z to .gz. This applies to the IBM i distribution file, the tarball distribution files for z/OS, and to all Unix distribution files. The file extension for the Windows installation packages has NOT changed. It is still .exe. The file extension for the .zip z/OS distribution file is also unchanged. |
D-09780 | Unix | UBROKER | Prevents a Universal Broker crash following successful Manager Fault Tolerant (MFT) recovery of a UCMD Manager task. In this situation, recovery processing was successful. The crash occurred as the Broker cleaned up tracking records stored in its BerkeleyDB database files. |
D-10535 | Unix | UAGSRV | Prevents an Agent File Monitor task failure when the specified file contains trailing whitespace that is not a space (e.g., a newline control character, '\n'). |
D-11317 | Unix | UAGSRV | Improves trace file messaging for an Agent File Monitor task that executes on a Linux/Unix Agent. Messages are now consistent with those written for Agent File Monitor tasks that execute on Windows Agents. |
D-11976 | Unix | UDM | Update the International Components for Unicode (ICU) 3pp vendor library to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
D-12016 | Unix | UCMD | Library dependencies updated due to vulnerabilities. |
D-12235 | Unix | UFTP | Update the libcURL 3pp vendor library (used for UFTP file transfers and UPPS Web API calls) to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
D-12560 | Unix | UFTP | Update the libSSH2 3pp vendor library used by UFTP to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
D-12785 | All | All | Improve data security by making sure all references to sensitive data are cleared before the memory holding that data is freed. Note that no memory was leaked nor was any sensitive data exposed prior to this change. This change applies to the way in which the Universal Agent applications are built. Some compilers may "skip" a call to clear memory in situations where that that memory is immediately freed in the next statement. This is an undesirable optimization, and this change prevents the call to clear the memory from being skipped. |
D-12805 | Unix | UEM | Fixes a problem where UEM tries to monitor a symbolic link on a Linux system that resides in a world-writeable directory. |
D-12923 | Unix | PYTHON | Update the Universal Agent Python distribution to 3.11.13 and its dependencies to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
D-13077 | Unix | UFTP | Fixes an issue for transfers to or from an IBM i FTP Server, where UFTP attempts to issue LIB file system commands for a location outside the Library file system. |
D-13397 | Unix (Linux Intel only) | INSTALL | A Universal Agent install or upgrade on Linux Intel (the RPM or Debian package) would replace file permissions for the This issue only affects users of the Universal Agent for SOA product. |
D-13418 | Unix | UDM | Add support for the rdw session attribute for UDM sessions that execute on Linux/Unix. This change allows users to inform UDM that a file transferred from Linux/Unix to z/OS contains RDW that can either be discarded or retained on a transfer to z/OS. This attribute was previously available on Windows and z/OS only. |
D-13463 | IBM i | UAGSRV | Fixes a problem where a Universal Extension Task that defines a field with a percent sign (%) in its value may be misinterpreted by UAG Server, causing it to crash. |
D-13518 | All | UAGSRV | Fixes a regression introduced in Universal Agent 7.8.2.0 that could affect the way string arrays are exchanged between Agent components and with OMS. The affected code is executed on all platforms, but the problem was exposed by a situation specific to z/OS. In that situation, we observed instances where a message sent from a secondary z/OS Agent to a primary z/OS Agent in a sysplex configuration could lose some formatting. The primary content of the message was intact, but the loss of formatting caused an exception to be reported in the Universal Controller log when it received that message from OMS. The most visible result that the task instance had no Restartable Job Steps even though the task itself finished successfully. |
D-13550 | Unix (except HP-UX, Solaris) | UEXT | Update the setuptools and certifi Python modules provided for Universal Extension development and installed to |
D-13553 | Unix | UAGSRV | Fixes a problem where a Universal Extension Task will stay in a Running state if the SECURITY option in the Universal Agent configuration file (uags.conf) is set to pam_sessions. |
D-13589 | Unix (Solaris only) | INSTALL | Fixes a problem with Universal Agent upgrades on Solaris that could cause Universal Extension tasks to fail. The failures only occur if the Universal Extension API changed between your installed version and the upgraded version. The fix provided in this maintenance will ensure that existing Universal Extension tasks execute successfully following the upgrade. |
D-13664 | Unix | UAGSRV | Prevents a possible UAG Server crash when an Agent File Monitor task is launched with a variable with no value is specified for the file to be monitored. |
D-13707 | Unix (except HP-UX) | PYTHON | Decrease the size of the Universal Agent's Python distribution in order to decrease the overall size of the Universal Agent distribution file. |
