Affected Products and Versions

IBM QRadar SIEM 7.3.0 to 7.3.3 FP 10

IBM QRadar SIEM 7.4.0 to 7.4.3 FP 4

Remediation/Fixes

Customers should remove all CentOS 6 apps from their QRadar deployment or upgrade to UBI 8 versions. Apps can be uninstalled via Extension Management.

To ensure all CentOS 6 apps are removed and to prevent installation of CentOS 6 apps in the future, follow the guidelines at http://ibm.biz/qradarcentos6 on supported QRadar versions. In a future version of QRadar, this will be the default state. 

Workarounds and Mitigations

Upgrade apps to UBI8 versions and manually uninstall any remaining CentOS 6 based apps from your QRadar installation.
