Hi All,

Can anyone provide me an update on Code Hooking mentioned in below link

There was an issue fixed in the latest version which was released two weeks ago, 12.1.6 MP5. You need to upgrade to it.

Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.6.5 is now available

 If this is brand new then no mention has come from Symantec yet.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the reply but this article is published today only.

As I said, if brand new, I have not seen any mention from Symantec yet. They are probably investigating and if true expect another patch of some sort.

We fixed this in 12.1 RU6 MP4:
