  • 1.  SEPM 14.0.MP1 Security Fixes

    Posted Feb 20, 2017 09:40 AM

    Hallo everyone.

    Installed SEPM v14.0.MP1 this morning, deployed couple of test clients, everything seems to be working OK for now.
    In SEPMs LU Downloads list (pic below) I've noticed two items I think I haven't seen before, "Symantec Endpoint Protection Security Fix for Win32/64 14.0.MP1".

    Anyone knows what these are maybe?

    Regards

    Not sure. Looks like someone from Symantec will need to weigh in.

    These have been avaiable in the first SEP 14 and they are the secuirty patches that are pushed out via liveupdate to the clients rather than having to upgrade the clients everytime there is a RU or MP release. Gives symantec the ability to patch vulnerabilities on the client as they know it takes some companies some time to upgrade evertime they release a new package. 

    LiveUpdate downloads new types of content

    Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager downloads additional types of content from LiveUpdate servers:

    • Client security patches

    • Endpoint Detection and Response: Definitions that the Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) component uses to detect and investigate suspicious activities and issues on hosts and endpoints.

    • Common Network Transport Library and Configuration: Definitions that the entire product uses to achieve network transportation and telemetry.

    See About the types of content that LiveUpdate downloads.

    Hi

    It's not clear to me:

    • Can a client move from 14.0.1904.0000 to 14.0.2332.0100 using LiveUpdate as source? Like the autoupgrade feature?
    • From the table in HOWTO125357 SEPM 14 RU1 MP1, Client 14RU1  Does the client download patches from the management server? No. The table is so confusing.
    • If there is a security fix available, well where's the security advisory?

    Thanks
