Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows Vulnerability
_{(CVE-2024-29853)}

Please keep in mind that Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows (VAW) has two primary operation modes, either standalone or managed. When VAW is managed by Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) or Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC), the VAW deployment must be upgraded by the server that manages it. Directly upgrading a VAW deployment that VBR manages will likely result in a compatibility issue if the deployed VAW version is higher than the VBR software expects.

• If VAW is operating in purely Standalone operation mode (not targetting a VBR or Cloud Connect repository), it can be upgraded directly on the machine where it is installed.
• If VAW is operating in Standalone operation mode but targets a VBR or Cloud Connect repository, the destination VBR or Cloud Connect deployment must be upgraded to a version that supports the new VAW version before upgrading VAW directly.
• If a VBR server manages VAW, you must upgrade VBR first, then upgrade the managed VAW deployments.
  
• If a VSPC server manages VAW, the VAW deployment must be upgraded using the VSPC console.
