Connector Platform Operating System (OS) Updates
Platform operating system upgrades are not automatic.
When security vulnerabilities are reported to Cisco, Secure Access will publish an updated connector image. When this happens, you will see a yellow icon in the Version column on the Connect > Network Connections > Connector Groups page: . Hover over the icon for more information, as a yellow version indicator is not always related to OS vulnerabilities.
For information about OS vulnerabilities addressed in a particular connector image, see Secure Access Release Notes for Resource Connectors.
New versions of the connector image will have the latest operating system version. Secure Access may also periodically issue connectors with the latest operating system even if there are no other changes. Replacing connectors to obtain the latest operating system version is optional, and the connector version status indicator does not flag these releases unless they also include reported vulnerability fixes.
Connectors in a group can run different operating system versions.
To deploy operating system security fixes and other updates, redeploy your connectors:
-
Obtain the new connector image.
For more information, see Obtain the Connector Image.
-
Redeploy your connectors using the new connector image provided by Cisco.
For more information, see Add Connectors to a Connector Group.
-
Delete the vulnerable connectors from Secure Access.
For more information, see Disable, Revoke, or Delete Resource Connectors and Groups.
- Delete the vulnerable connector instances from your data center.
