WARNING: The time taken to install the latest SEU will depend on the last time the 3D System was updated with an SEU. Installing SEUs weekly can help lessen the installation time. Additionally, SEUs require 50 Megabytes of free space in /tmp and 150 Megabytes of free space in /var to install successfully.
This release adds and modifies rules in several categories.
The Sourcefire VRT has added and modified multiple rules in the backdoor, blacklist, botnet-cnc, file-identify, netbios, oracle, policy, specific-threats, spyware-put and web-misc rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies.
SEU packages are cumulative. The installation of prior SEU packages is not required before installing the current package. However, because SEUs are cumulative, issues identified in previous SEUs can require your attention when you import the current SEU. To review a cumulative list of all current and previous feature updates, policy changes, resolved issues, and issues that persist from SEU to SEU since the last SEU you imported, view the Cumulative SEU Release Notes here.
SEU installation instructions can be found on the Sourcefire Customer Support Site and in the documentation for the Defense Center and 3D Sensor.
