Technical Note: Custom service scans do not pass as expected on Linux CentOS 8 machines
Description
This article discusses about customer service scans on Linux CentOS 8 machines.
The Persistent Agent service 'bndaemon' does not have enough permissions on CentOS 8 to list running processes. This causes custom scans to fail for services that are actually running.
Example:
Custom scan requiring Malwarebytes (process name=mbdaemon) fails on Host A.
Running the command 'systemctl status mbdaemon' on Host A shows the service is actually running.
Scope
Version: Agent 5.2.4 (possibly lower)
Solution
Addressed in versions 8.8.5 and 9.1.0.
