Managing found vulnerabilities

If the vulnerability assessment was performed at least once and some vulnerabilities were found, you will see them in Software management > Vulnerabilities. The list of vulnerabilities shows both vulnerabilities that have patches to be installed and those that do not have suggested patches. You can use the filter to show only vulnerabilities with patches.

Name	Description
Name	The name of vulnerability.
Affected products	Software products for which the vulnerabilities were found.
Machines	The number of affected machines.
Severity	The severity of found vulnerability. The following levels can be assigned according to the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS): Critical: 9 - 10 CVSS High: 7 - 9 CVSS Medium: 3 - 7 CVSS Low: 0 - 3 CVSS None
Patches	The number of appropriate patches.
Published	The date and time when the vulnerability was published in Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE).
Detected	The first date when an existing vulnerability was detected on machines.

You can find the description of found vulnerability by clicking its name in the list.

To start the vulnerability remediation process

In the service console, go to Software management > Vulnerabilities.
Select the vulnerability in the list and click Install patches. The vulnerability remediation wizard will open.
Select the patches to be installed on the selected machines. Click Next.
Select the machines that you want to install patches for.
Select if the machine reboot must be performed after patch installation:
- No – reboot will never be initiated after the update installation.
- If required – reboot is done only if it is required for applying the updates.
- Yes – reboot will be always initiated after the updates. You can always specify the reboot delay.
Do not reboot until backup is finished – if the backup process is running, the machine reboot will be delayed until the backup is completed.

When ready, click Install patches.

As a result, the selected patches will be installed on the selected machines.
