What's New in Version 6.7.1

The ThreatQuotient team is pleased to announce the availability of ThreatQ version 6.7.1. Below is a list of important bugs that have been addressed and upgrade instructions.

You can access these release notes, along with other ThreatQ product documentation on the ThreatQ Help Center.

Migration Impact

If you are deploying ThreatQ 6x for the first time, the upgrade requires setting up a new Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.10 or 9.4 instance, installing ThreatQ 6x in this new instance, and then restoring the data from your ThreatQ 5x instance. The exact time to complete the upgrade depends on your specific environment and resources.

Access the ThreatQ Help Center to view or download the ThreatQ Version 6 Installation guides. Contact our Customer Support Team or your Customer Success Engineer to request the ThreatQ Version 6 Migration guide for detailed information on migrating to ThreatQ 6x.

ThreatQ Platform (TQ)

The following is a bug fix for the ThreatQ platform.

Notable Bug Fixes

• We removed changes to the ACE Parser introduced in ThreatQ v6.7.0 so that it no longer matches against items in the Threat Library. Instead, the ACE Parser uses a predetermined list of terms for searches as in releases prior to ThreatQ v6.7.0.

---

ThreatQ Data Exchange (TQX)

The following is a bug fix for the ThreatQ Data Exchange.

Notable Bug Fixes

• Upon upgrading to ThreatQ v6.7.0, users were unable to view the Relational Data section of the Edit Feed page. We updated the permissions for this page so that users with permission to view the page can view all sections.

ThreatQ v6 Installation

• If the preflight check encounters a custom group, it halts the upgrade process and returns the following message:  Exiting Installation. Please reach out to TQ Support for steps to continue your upgrade.
  Contact ThreatQuotient Support for assistance in upgrading your system.
• The installation process for ThreatQ 6.7.1 requires a ThreatQ 5.29.4 backup file.  If you attempt to use a backup file from a different ThreatQ 5x release, the restore process will return an error.

How to Upgrade

After you start the upgrade, do not cancel the installation. Doing so will leave your system in an unusable state.

Platform Check

ThreatQ provides you with the ability to run an independent preflight check, prior to upgrading, to ensure adequate disk space. The system will also scan your installed integrations for any incompatible versions.  You will be unable to perform the upgrade if an incompatible integration version is detected. 

This scan does not apply to integrations installed on third-party systems such as the ThreatQ App for QRadar.

Run a platform check for the most recent ThreatQ version:

# sudo /usr/local/bin/tqadmin platform check

Run a platform check for a specific version:

# sudo /usr/local/bin/tqadmin platform check -v <version number>

Upgrade Commands

To upgrade, run the following command:

# sudo /usr/local/bin/tqadmin platform upgrade

To upgrade to a specific version, run the following command:

# sudo /usr/local/bin/tqadmin platform upgrade -v <version number>

To discuss planning your upgrade, don't hesitate to get in touch with your Customer Success Engineer.

As always, contact our Customer Support Team if you encounter problems when upgrading or need assistance.

Thank you,
