Greenbone OS 24.10.4 released

For GOS 24.10, a new patch level is available.

GOS 24.10.4 adds an alternate mode of querying scan results during scans, potentially providing improvements in the use of system resources, especially when running many scans in parallel. The new mode is not enabled by default, but can be enabled via the GOS state variable scan_queue if desired. The GOS state variables max_active_scan_handlers and scan_handler_active_time provide further fine-tuning options, if scan_queue is enabled.

The way EPSS scores are displayed has been changed to comply with FIRST’s recommended display format. The score is now displayed as a percentage and the percentile is displayed as a whole-numbered ordinal number.

Multiple issues were fixed where pages of the web interface could not be opened, but an error message was displayed instead.

Additionally, the Linux kernel has been upgraded from version 6.6.77-greenbone1 to version 6.6.92-greenbone1 for hardware appliances and from version 6.1.129-1 to version 6.1.140-1 for virtual appliances.

Note: an upgrade to this version requires a reboot of the system.

In total, GOS 24.10.4 covers 18 improvements, 54 bug fixes, and 4 security fixes. For a complete list of changes, see the Roadmap & Lifecycle page: Roadmap and Lifecycle - Greenbone
