Can you add a link to the vulnerability information?  Also, will these patches and vulnerabilities appear as patch manager content?

Cottroad Cottroad  says:

Does this patch require SP2 to be installed on 8.8 (i.e. will the pre-requisite check refuse to install if you have either no ServicePack or SP1)?

 

Thanks

Trevor Trevor  says:

We are working on getting this added to the Patch Management content. Also, the LDMS 8.8 fix reqiuires SP2 to be installed for the setup to run. You can try just replacing your existing QIP service with the one in the ZIP, but be aware that that was not tested.

Matt Johnson Matt Johnson  says:

We installed the patch on the server with no problem.  According to the readme file, it says to install the patch on the additional consoles.  When we try to run it, the installer tells us that we need to have SP2 installed.  We already have it installed.

chad chad  says:

This patch is for the core only.  The remote console doesnt have the qipsrvr.exe installed.

jstrain jstrain  says:

We are running 8.7 sp4.  The readme in the patch says it is a post sp5 patch.  We are not planning on going to sp5 (we plan on moving to 8.8 instead).  Do we need to patch our 8.7 sp4 core with the qip service patch listed here?

chad chad  says in response to jstrain:

The patch is for a post SP5 core server.  To apply the patch, you will first need to update to SP5.  You can try just replacing the qipsrvr.exe per Trevors comment above, but be aware that is not tested.  I would not recommend it.

MTFC MTFC  says:

Any way,What is Intel QIP Service ?

I couldn't find information what Intel QIP Server Service do.

 

Any body knows it ?

Trevor Trevor  says in response to MTFC:

The Intel QIP service is used by lagacy clients (8.6 and earlier) so that they can communicate their software distribution status. The service was also used for the old software distribution package healing feature.

I have been working on this issue for a couple of days now.  I had LanDesk 8.8 (not even SP1), and was not able to install this update.  It gave me an error during installation needing SP2.  So, I installed SP3 and again was not able to install this update.  This patch is included in the SP3 update, by the way.  However, security scanning software will disregard SP3 and look for a specific registry key that this patch creates.  I use Retina Scan.  Without this key, Retina scan will ALWAYS report this as a vunerability.

 

Anyways, for those of you that want this to install and have the same problem as I did, just do this... open up the registry and navigate to:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LANDesk\ManagementSuite\Setup\Version\Patches

 

Create a string value of "LANDESK Software 8.8 - Service Pack 2" with the data value of 8.8-SP2

 

The installation will now run.  Additionally, all the installation does is replace the qipsrvr.exe file and create a registry value in:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LANDesk\ManagementSuite\Setup\Version\Patches

 

String value: CR16209 - qipsrvr.exe

Data: 8.80.2.4

 

Hope this helps out!
