  • 1.  IE11 crashing related to SEP update Symantec Endpoint Protection 12

    Posted Feb 21, 2015 02:53 AM

    All of the machines on our Small Network (35 hosts) are exhibiting the same issue today.  Internet Explorer 11 crashes immediately on starting.

    The relevant event viewer entry from my own system reports:

    Faulting application name: IEXPLORE.EXE, version: 11.0.9600.17631, time stamp: 0x54b31a70
    Faulting module name: IPSEng32.dll, version: 14.1.2.8, time stamp: 0x54545048
    Exception code: 0xc0000417
    Fault offset: 0x000c4c92
    Faulting process id: 0x23b4
    Faulting application start time: 0x01d04da86caa10f2
    Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
    Faulting module path: C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\12.1.1101.401.105\Data\Definitions\IPSDefs\20150220.001\IPSEng32.dll
    Report Id: aa8fbcd9-b99b-11e4-a79a-e8039ade38e0

    The same faulting module is reported the other systems.

    Any idea how this can be resolved?

    This is a serious problem for us as we have systems that access law enforcement. No windows updates applied. Had to shut down endpoint protection managers.

    Hi Rafeeq

    Our machines are fully patched with Windows Updates. Here is a list on the machine I am presently using.  The fix that you see applied today was applied by me after the problem with IE crashing raised its head. I thought it might be a MS glitch and installed the only available update.

    We have the same problem since this morning.

    So far the only solution is to remove SEP.

    Business affect: SERIOUS (total breakdown of key application, which is running only on IE)

    We run a hotel in 0/24 operation.

    Solution/FIX needed!

    We have found it to be an issue with the 2/20/2015 r1 virus definition.  I had to set our Liveupdate content policy to use the 2/19/2015 r9 update instead of latest available.  Once the PC's received the new policy change, and started using the definition from 2/19/2015, IE started working.  Environment = 3000+ end points. I hope this helps some.

    We have found it to be the 2/20/2015 r1 def update in SEP.  In SEPM, I had to change the Liveupdate content policy to use the 2/19/2015 r9 update, not the latest.  Once the PC received this policy change, and started using the 2/19/2015 def, IE started to work again without issue.  Environment - 3000+ Endpoints.  I hope this helps some of you.

    You can try to add in exception and check wether it work or not?

    Mostprobably it will work and you can't be require to stop sep.



  • 12.  RE: IE11 crashing related to SEP update Symantec Endpoint Protection 12

    Adding an exception did not help in my case.

    From 100 clients I uninstalled SEP on 8 computers and installed a different one as a temporary fix, just to keep the key computers running. Without IE our core application can not be used.



  • 13.  RE: IE11 crashing related to SEP update Symantec Endpoint Protection 12

    Posted Feb 21, 2015 04:38 AM

    We had to roll back due to the issue affecting production applications.  It will be interesting to see how fast a new def is released to resolve this issue.  I did not try adding an IE exception into the policy.  That may be worth a try.

    Copy and Pasted from another forum, email sent from Symantec Support:

    Hello, 

    There is Global  SEPM outage.
     
    Issue: There is a known issue with the IPS update - 20150220.001 Symantec Endpoint Protection - Security Update 985 for SEP 12.1 RTM to RU1 MP1 . The problem is currently being investigated by the developer team. For now, the solution to implement is to revert back the IPS definitions before the 20150220.001 i.e 18th Feb.
     
     
    Solution:  Follow the steps below to roll back virus definitions in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager: 
    Protection Manager: 

    1.Click Policies 
    2. Select View Policies 
    3. Click LiveUpdate. 
    4. Double-click your current LiveUpdate Content Policy Under the 
    "LiveUpdate Content" tab. The LiveUpdate Content Policy Overview dialog 
    box appears. 
    5. From the "LiveUpdate Content" section, click Security 
    Definitions. 
    6. Enable the Select a revision option located in the "AntiVirus and 
    AntiSpyware definitions" section, 
    7. Click the Edit button. The Select Revision - Antivirus and 
    AntiSpyware definitions dialog box appears. 
    8. Expand the drop-down list and browse to the appropriate (32-bit or 64-bit) 
    definition set. 
    9. Click the desired rollback definition date. 
    Click OK. 
    10 Click OK to close the "Security Definitions" dialog box and return to 
    the "Policies" tab

    Thanks & Regards

    Adding Application Exception did not solve the issue in my case. Had to replace SEP with an other solution.

    Posted Feb 21, 2015 05:09 AM

    We use the .cloud edition of Symantec Endpoint. In this version it is not possible to roll back signatures to an earlier state. The solution regadring adding iexplorer.exe to the exception list didn't work for be either.
    I have even tried to disable the antivirus, but the only thing that seems to work is uninstalling the antivirus completely. Although it is manageable with only 50 users, it is obviously not a solution I will use.

    Are there any of you, who have some great ideas?

    What Exact SEPM version are you using ?

    May be are you using Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.1101.401 (RU1 MP1),

    SEPM 12.1.1101.401 (RU1 MP1), does not support IE 11,You need to upgrade SEPM 12.1.5.

    Check these article

    Force definition updates to your clients and relax.

    I also encountered this problem, and the only solution is to uninstall the SE client. I'm using Cloud Management and I tried to add exceptions but didn't solve the problem. I hope Symantec will have a solution for this soon. I can't remove the SE protection on all my computers on my network  - that is too risky.

    I am still working on it right now, please help....

    Same issue, but in my case is not IE 11.

    It happens using IE 9 (See attach)

    Still working on it, until now the only solution has been uninstalled Symantec.

    Not sure if Symantec did a fix, but I just tested all my computers over our network and All IEs are OK now. Try restarting your PC. I did this on all my PCs.

    Seeing the same thing here, issues with IE 10 for me.  Using .Cloud here also.

    When you look at the portal and all your endpoints, mine all show online like everything is fine, but the phone is ringing every 10 minutes or so with sites having the IE issue.  Very frustrating on a Saturday morning to be awakened with this?

    Thank you for the link James007.

    Thank you also to everyone who commented and for the suggestions.  Much appreciated.

    It appears that the latest definitions 20 February 2015 r35 have resolved the problem.

    Network Thread protection has to be rolled back, so go to SEPM Policies, select LiveUpdate tab LiveUpdate Content and click on Security Definitions change the revision, see attachment. Assign policy and wait until Symantec applies to clients.

    This solution works until Symantec fix the issue with the lastest definition.

    Here's the official blog confirming the issue with corrupt IPS definitions. 12.1 RU2 were not affected. https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/corrupt-ips-definition-package-impacted-internet-explorer-11

    Yes.  Below is the link they sent me.  I had already started the process of going back to previous revisions, which seem to work now on the clients that have been updated.  They told me the fix was to update to the latest version, but I am going to wait a couple of days just to make sure there's not something else hosed up with them.  Hope this helps.

    For the issue please  download the latest definition from Symantec by running Live Update  and make sure under live update content >IPS >Use latest available definition  option is enabled.
