Sophos Anti-Virus for UNIX release notes ---------------------------------------- Contents -------- Version numbers New in this release Fixed issues Known issues Additional information Information from previous releases Technical support Legal notices Version numbers --------------- Sophos Anti-Virus : 7.5.6 Threat detection engine : 3.32.0 Threat data : 4.78, June 2012 New in this release ------------------- * The threat detection engine and threat data have been updated. Fixed issues ------------ * (DEF79174) When you run savupdate, if an error occurs before the installation directory has been determined, savupdateException.log is written to /tmp. When this happens, the permissions on /tmp are changed to 700, regardless of whether /tmp already exists. * (DEF81855) On HP-UX, savd occasionally fails to start, and it sends an error to stderr. Known issues ------------ * (DEF82130) On AIX, after you have upgraded to this release from 7.5.5 or 7.5.4, the sav-rms daemon does not restart. The daemon is used for communication between Sophos Anti-Virus and Sophos Enterprise Console. This issue is planned to be fixed in version 7.5.8. Before then, to restart the daemon manually, type: /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/Ssav-rms * (DEF74324) On HP-UX, if you try to get help on the uninstall command, for example by typing: uninstall.sh --help Sophos Anti-Virus is partially uninstalled. To workaround this issue and uninstall Sophos Anti-Virus: 1. Re-install Sophos Anti-Virus with the command-line option --ignore-existing-installation. Sophos Anti-Virus is now fully installed again. 2. Run uninstall.sh without the option --help. * (DEF74339) If you install Sophos Anti-Virus on a virtual machine for the first time, and you use Sophos Enterprise Console to schedule a scan on that machine, the scan runs twice. Subsequent scans run only once as normal. * (DEF74349) On a Sophos Anti-Virus installation that is managed by Sophos Enterprise Console, if an on-demand scan quarantines a file, savlog shows that the file has been quarantined, but in Enterprise Console, "action taken" is blank. * (DEF52913) On AIX, the output from savscan is in English, regardless of the system language. * (WKI42035) If you install a managed installation of Sophos Anti-Virus on an AIX or HP-UX workstation, and in Sophos Enterprise Console you move the workstation from the "Unassigned" group to another group, the "Anti-virus and HIPS policy" column in the computer list might display "Differs from policy". To work around this, in Enterprise Console, right-click the workstation, point to "Comply with", and then click "Group anti-virus and HIPS Policy". * (DEF38027) During installation or upgrade, if you make typographical errors when prompted for information, and correct these, control characters might be stored as part of your input. This could cause a problem, especially with updating. For more information, go to www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/58693.html. * (DEF29605) On a computer running Solaris version 10 with a Japanese locale, if you try to install Sophos Anti-Virus from a central installation directory and you enter an installation location using Japanese text, the installation fails with the message "svccfg: Syntax error". * (DEF23317) If you install Sophos Anti-Virus on a computer that has Sophos Anti-Virus version 4 and a third-party product that uses SAV Interface installed, you might have to configure Sophos Anti-Virus to use the correct location for the Sophos Anti-Virus libraries and threat data. For information, go to www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/50230.html. * (DEF20663) If a workstation is shut down uncleanly, and Sophos Enterprise Console has issued policy changes, the changes are not applied to the workstation when it restarts.
