Agent 8.0.0.0 - March 31, 2026
Platform | Component | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
B-20755 | Unix (AIX) | All | Migrate the AIX build platform to AIX 7.2. This effectively updates the mininum supported version for the Universal Agent 8.0.0.0 release to AIX 7.2 TL5 and higher. AIX 7.3 TL0 and higher is also supported. info Note This change required a change to the AIX distribution file name to include the 7.2 build platform. For example, the UA 7.9.0.0 distribution for AIX was |
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:
|
B-23143 | All | All | Upgrade the OpenSSL 3pp vendor library used by Universal Agent to OpenSSL 3.5.5 to ensure continued maintainability of OpenSSL updates and fixes. Virtually all Universal Agent components use OpenSSL for cryptographic functions. Not all components have user-facing visibility, but for practical purposes, a change to OpenSSL is a change to all Universal Agent components. |
B-23529 | All | UAGSRV | Ensure that UAG Server refreshes the IP address of any hosts specified in its OMS_SERVERS list, to support DNS updates without having to cycle the Agent. |
B-23685 | All | UBROKER | Enhance security for the Universal Broker's external service interface by adding peer authentication support. When the new AUTHENTICATE_PEER configuration option is set to yes, the Universal Broker will require that any client that tries to connect to its external service interface provide a valid client certificate. This will ensure that only trusted clients can connect to the Universal Broker. |
D-09802 | Unix | UBROKER | When the path to a Universal Broker's info Note 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-13552 | All | 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. |
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. |
D-14036 | All (depending on component availability) | 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. |
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. |
D-14286 | Unix | PYTHON | Update the Universal Agent's Python 3.11 distribution for Unix and Windows to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. This delivery also includes updates to the following "external" Python modules:
These external modules -- and their dependencies -- are provided by the Agent's Python distribution. A subset of these modules are install to the |
D-14348 | All | All | Update the zlib 3pp vendor library to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. The zlib library is used by all Universal Agent components, excluding the z/OS SMF exit modules. |
D-14360 | Unix (Linux Intel only) | UPPS | Fixes a problem in which a UPPS task may exit with a start failure if the task definitions provides a large number of RunTime parameters. |
Universal Agent for SOA 7.9.x for UNIX Packages
Agent for SOA 7.9.0.0 - September, 30, 2025
Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
B-22445 | Unix (Linux Intel only) | USOA | Replace deprecated log4j 1.2.17 with actively-maintained reload4j 1.2.26. reload4j is a fork of the log4j project and is a drop-in replacement. reload4j is installed to the following locations:
|
D-13527 | Unix (Linux Intel only) | USOA | Update the Apache Tomcat 9.0.102 library bundled with UAC Server to 9.0.107 to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
D-13528 | Unix (Linux Intel only) | USOA | Update the DB Derby 10.4.1.3 library to 10.14.2.0 to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
