Hi,

Any security vulnerability with 4.4.7 or

 any specific feature implemented in 4.4.12 ?

We can update it but if you provide more info so priority can be set. 

Thanks

The Nagios Core 4.x version history can be found at https://www.nagios.org/projects/nagios-core/4x/

I don't see any security vulnerabilities fixed, but I do see several fixes for memory leaks, crashes, etc.

You may recall that we have yet to be able to get the Toolbox version of Nagios running in my environment (see https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/discussion/nagios-46-server-on-aix-cannot-open-main-configuration-file-varnagiosrwnagiosqh for a complete history of the problems/issues encountered).  I am hoping that the latest version of Nagios Core which includes multiple fixes for memory leaks and crashes will finally enable me to get this working.

Q1 has come and gone, and I see that the toolbox version of Nagios is still at 4.4.7.

Nagios 4.5.1 has been available since 2024-02-28, and nagios-plugins 2.4.9 has been available since 2024-03-21.

You may recall that we have yet to be able to get the Toolbox version of Nagios running in my environment (see https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/discussion/nagios-46-server-on-aix-cannot-open-main-configuration-file-varnagiosrwnagiosqh for a complete history of the problems/issues encountered).  I am hoping that the latest version of Nagios Core which includes multiple fixes for memory leaks and crashes will finally enable me to get this working.

A recent update to AIX 7.2.5.7 also updated the system OpenSSL to 3.0.x, which broke several checks due to an older lib no longer being available.

Alright.

Considering planning for Q4 is already done , we will update nagios in next year Q1.
