Snow Inventory Java Scanner 3

Here you can find the release notes for Snow Inventory Java Scanner 3.

3.3.2 unreleased​

Release date: 2024-11-22

Corrections​

(SIT-3857)

  • Snow Inventory Oracle Middleware Scanner now performs the file system search as expected when wildcards (i.e. {} ) are used to replace a folder in the include paths specified in the Software element of the agent configuration file, snowagent.config. Example: /folder-1//folder-2/*. (04786606)

3.3.1 latest​

Release date: 2024-08-21

Corrections​

(SIT-3803)

  • The scanner will now validate the Windows “runas“ command, to properly handle a “runas“ utility bug introduced by the 22H2 windows update. The workaround to this bug is to provide an additional “runas“ parameter, /machine:x86|amd64|arm|arm64, depending on the platform. The scanner will apply the additional parameter only on the environments that are affected (04782148).

3.3.0​

Release date: 2024-05-08

Enhancements​

Oracle scanners
All logical drives are included in the scan (Windows only)

  • The Unix shell is now properly initialized when executing the command that detects autofs mount points as part of the /etc/mnttab file (04774573)

3.2.3​

Release date: 2024-03-27

Enhancements​

Security
(OM-3609)

  • This release includes security enhancements. To avoid a possible path traversal vulnerability, the jar file extraction functionality will now validate the corresponding jar file to prevent illegal entries in the jar resources.

3.2.2​

Release date: 2023-11-01

(OM-845)

Corrections​
