Managing found vulnerabilities

If the vulnerability assessment was performed at least once and some vulnerabilities were found, you can see them in Software management > Vulnerabilities. The list of vulnerabilities shows both vulnerabilities for which patches are available, and those without suggested patches. You can use the filter to show only vulnerabilities with available 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 a found vulnerability by clicking its name in the list.

To start the vulnerability remediation process

  1. In the Cyber Protect web console, go to Software management > Vulnerabilities.
  2. Select the vulnerabilities in the list, and then click Install patches. The vulnerability remediation wizard will open.
  3. Select the patches to be installed. Click Next.
  4. Select the machines on which you want to install patches.
  5. Choose whether to reboot the machines after patch installation:

    • No – reboot will never be initiated after patch installation.
    • If required – reboot is initiated only if it is required for applying the updates.
    • Yes – reboot will be always initiated after patch installation. However, you can specify a delay.

    Do not reboot until backup is finished – if a backup process is running, the machine reboot will be delayed until the backup completes.

  6. Click Install patches.

As a result, the selected patches are installed on the selected machines.
