SINGAPORE: Police have urged members of the public to remain calm after tremors were felt in Singapore, following a 7.8-magnitude earthquake that hit Indonesia on Wednesday night (Mar 2).

In an advisory, police said the Meteorological Services confirmed the earthquake hit southwest Sumatra - about 1,237km from Singapore - at about 8.49pm on Wednesday. Tremors were subsequently felt in parts of Singapore from 8.53pm. Both the Police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force received several calls from the public reporting these tremors, it said.

If members of the public are inside a building and feel tremors, police advise them to:

i) Take cover under a sturdy table or furniture
ii) Keep away from items made of glass or any hanging object
iii) Do not use the lift
iv) Do not use any naked light, in case there is a gas leak

Those out in the open should minimise their movement and stay away from buildings, street lights and utility wires, police added. After the vibrations have stopped, they should:

i) Stay away from any exposed electrical cables, hanging glass objects
ii) Report any gas leakage
iii) Help the injured, call SCDF if the injuries are significant
iv) Report any incidents or issues of law and order to Police
v) Tune in to the radio for updates, according to police

The Singapore Civil Defence Force similarly asked those in Singapore to not be alarmed, and posted information on what to do in the event of tremors.

TREMORS FELT IN BISHAN, EAST COAST, SENG KANG, ANG MO KIO

Residents in Singapore reported feeling tremors in areas including Bishan, Punggol, East Coast, Seng Kang and Ang Mo Kio. However, Singapore is unlikely to be affected by the earthquake, said the National Environment Agency.

A Katong resident, who only wanted to be identified as Ms Amanda, said she felt tremors from her 12th-floor apartment shortly after the quake struck, at about 9.05pm.

“I was lying down reading a book when suddenly I felt like the ground was moving side to side. I thought I was feeling tired, but my mum saw our lamps outside shaking, so we decided to evacuate,” she told Channel NewsAsia.

Amanda said there were about 15 residents gathered downstairs of her condominium. Her family of six stayed at the ground floor for about half an hour.

“We live quite high up, and we have two dining lamps which won’t shake if it’s just (strong) wind. It’s happened before during an earthquake as well,” said Ms Amanda of her family’s decision to self-evacuate from their apartment.

They eventually returned to their home at 9.30pm. “We just wanted to be safe first. We headed downstairs and saw other people, so that confirmed it,” she said.

A resident in Kembangan who lives in an apartment also reported feeling strong tremors from the quake. "I felt like I was swaying from left to right. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'll rate (the movement) at the 2.5 to 3," said Ms Jazryl Lee.

Indonesia, especially Aceh, was badly hit by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. The country straddles the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire", a highly seismically active zone, where different plates on the earth's crust meet and create a large number of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Workaround: Wait until the pull task has finished and then retry the extension installation.
10091535.3.0Issue: Software Manager check in will not allow branch selection when the master repository has a licensed product checked in and you are trying to check in an updated evaluation version of the same product.
Workaround: Only use Software Manager to check in items with the same license type for upgrade.
10090875.3.0Issue: Software Manager lists a product as Up to Date if just one portion of a set of components for a product are checked in to ePO.    
Workaround: 
Ensure that you check in all desired components for products using the Software Manager when you are initially adding the new or updated software to ePO.
9961305.3.0Issue: When editing the Rollup Data (Local ePO Server) server task, removing the first available action (which is a duplicate) will not allow you to add further actions in its place.
Workaround: Refresh the UI.
9913835.3.0Issue: Importing an exported sitelist file (SiteMgr.xml) does not keep the chosen exclusions of the distributed repository.
Workaround: After import, set the exclusions desired for that distributed repository.

974028KB779205.1.1Issue: ePO pages are blank after upgrading from ePO 5.0 to ePO 5.3.
Workaround: This is a browser caching problem. See the Knowledge Base article for details.
9712895.1.1Issue: Deployment tags will not be Read only if you import the tag list.
Resolution: This issue will be resolved in ePO 5.4.
9686755.1.1Issue: The client task object structure changed in ePO 5.1.1, so that the EPOTaskObject table in the ePO database now has a different set of columns from all previous versions to support newly added parameters for the new architecture. As a result, Intel Security cannot support client task sharing from ePO 5.1.1 (or later) to any earlier version of ePO (for example, 5.1.x, 5.0.x, 4.x). Client task sharing will work between ePO 5.1.1 servers and later.
Workaround: Disable client task sharing until all ePO servers have been migrated to ePO 5.1.1 (or later), and then re-enable sharing.
9661245.1.1Issue: Agent URL creation does not allow you to savemcafeesmartinstaller.exe with Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 9.
Workaround: Turn off IE Enhanced Security configuration.
9614364.6As designedIssue: Deleting a node from Active Directory does not delete the System Tree entry that was created by NT Domain Synchronization.
Workaround: Manually delete systems that have been added using NT Domain Synchronization.
9572035.1.0Issue: Using the Quick Find functionality to find a specific system disables the use of Actions on that system.
Workaround: Refresh the system page manually to enable Actions.
9279955.1.1Issue: If you experienced the issue “System Tree displays a blank screen after upgrading to ePO 5.1” as described in KB79827, and installed the proof of concept (POC) build (EPO510_927995_POC.zip), you will not be able to use an existing custom filter to filter out unmanaged systems on the System Tree page after upgrading to ePO 5.3.
Workaround: Edit and update the custom filter or create a new one.
9241865.1.0
Issue: After upgrading to ePO 5.3, certain parts of the UI may behave improperly (for example, buttons are located in incorrect places and System Tree groups and systems are not displayed or are duplicated).
Workaround: To correct the problem, perform a hard refresh by pressing CTRL+F5.
9194515.1.0Issue: Agent deployment URLs appear to be invalid after you move the agent deployment package to another branch in the master repository.
Workaround: After changing the agent deployment package location in the master repository, it will take 5‑30 seconds for agent deployment URLs to be updated to the correct location. This timing may increase with the number of deployment URLs that you have.
918639KB819715.1.0
Issue: After upgrading ePO from version 4.6.6 or earlier, the LDAP Sync server task may fail. The message Failed to sync all registered LDAP servers: [[No LDAP Servers registered.]] is displayed in the failed task’s details.
Workaround: Re-register the LDAP servers in ePO to make the LDAP Sync server task complete successfully. See the Knowledge Base article for details.
917943KB779205.1.0Issue: You see page buttons in the ePO 5.x System Tree after upgrading from ePO 4.6.4 or later.
Workaround: Clear the browser cache. See the Knowledge Base article for details.
9173355.1.1
Issue: For ePO 5.1.1/5.3, the Upgrade Compatibility Utility supports upgrades from 4.5.7, 4.6.4, 4.6.6, and 4.6.7. However, you cannot use the utility to migrate an ePO 5.0 server.

If you run the utility on a version of ePO that is not supported for upgrade, the error message does not list the correct versions supported for upgrade by the utility.
9161365.1.0
Limitation: Agent installation via the deployment URL is broken.

Intel Security has determined the cause of this issue is because Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 8 file downloads over SSL do not work with cache control headers, as documented in Microsoft articleKB323308 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323308).

Because Cache-Control: no-store was added to the header of the file download, it does not allow IE8 to download the file.

Workarounds: The following are possible workarounds for this issue:
  • See Microsoft article KB323308 above for suggestions.
  • Use a different (supported) browser, as identified in the ePO 5.3 Installation GuidePD25506.
9157905.1.0
Issue: Automatic Product Configuration does not download content based on Locale.
Workaround: Manually download the needed Locale-specific files from the Software Manager.
9133795.1.0
Issue: When configuring NT Domain Synchronization in the System Tree, if you perform a Synchronize Now action, the Save button is disabled.
Workaround: Retyping the domain name will enable the Save button.
9133655.1.0
Issue: It is not explicitly stated in the Custom URL Viewer monitor dialog that only input that contains the full URL is acceptable.
Workaround: Type the full URL into the Custom URL Viewer monitor dialog.
8832115.1.0Issue: Imported permission sets containing specific product permissions do not allow access to product policies and product client tasks, even if the permission set imported included them.
Workaround: When importing permission sets, review the imported permission sets to determine whether you will also need to enable access to specific product policies or specific product client tasks.
8490165.1.0Issue: The Select All check box on the Detected Systems page, and any page that contains a table and a search filter, does not respect the search filter.
Workaround: This issue is being evaluated for consideration in a future release or patched version of the product.
8482485.1.0
Issue: VSE Access Protection blocks the functionality of the Upgrade Compatibility Utility.
Workaround: If you have VSE on your source or target systems, disable the Access Protection feature during the installation.
8424595.1.0
Issue: You see query migration errors (similar to the following) in the Orion.log when you upgrade to or install ePO 5.3:

2013-02-21 09:32:01,838 ERROR [pool-2-thread-1] query.DefaultOrionQueryService - Could not migrate the query ( id = 7, name = Duplicate Systems Names ) due to an unexpected error
com.mcafee.orion.core.query.sexp.UnknownSexpTypeException: parser encountered unknown S-expression type: duplicatedComputerName

Workaround: This is a timing issue with Extensions loading during the upgrade/installation. There is no actual effect when all extensions are properly loaded because the installation completes successfully.
8233425.1.0Issue: The Software Manager check in all feature and the newAutomatic Product Download feature do not support point product extension packages containing multiple ZIP components (for example, Host IPS and MRA). This might lead you to believe all your extensions are up-to-date when they are not.
Workaround: Download the extensions for Host IPS and MRA and check them in manually.
8178985.1.0
Issue: User-based Policy Assignment Rules do not get enforced for users in child domains.
8164755.1.0
Issue: The ePO server Snapshot status does not change to orangeSnapshot is Out of Date when removing an Agent Handler from a remote system.
Workaround: The issue resolves itself within five minutes.
8134615.1.0
Issue: When canceling the migration utility partway through migration, the Program Files (x86)\ePolicy Orchestrator folder and some registry keys are left behind on the target system.
Workaround: Delete the ePO installation folder and the registry keys from the target system.
8048335.0.0Issue: When you remove a policy from ePO by unsharing a shared policy, the removal of that policy is not found in the Audit Log.
7800955.1.0
Issue: When using a web browser to access the Web API directly, the browser caches credentials, potentially leading to a privilege escalation. If this were to occur, users would be granted access to data or commands for which they are not authorized.
Workaround: The purpose of the Web API is for the programmatic automation of tasks. If you choose to use a web browser to access the Web API directly (for example, https://servername:port/remote/core.help), close your browser window after you have finished; this clears your cached credentials.
7637835.1.0
Issue: Checking in a different product major version (with an existing product and hotfix checked in) to ePO 5.3 deletes the hotfix.
Workaround: Move the hotfix to a different branch before checking in a new package. Alternatively, you could check the hotfix back into the repository afterwards.
7202285.1.0
Issue: ePO's default document mode causes dragged items in the Edit Priority page to disappear when using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 8.0 with ePO 5.3.
Workaround: The following are possible workarounds for this issue:
  • Upgrade to a later (supported) version of IE.
  • Use another supported browser; see the Supported Internet browsers section in the ePO 5.3 Installation GuidePD25506, for information on supported browsers.
  • Use the Move to top functionality.
6606355.1.0
Issue: If you have replication permission (but not pull permission), you see the following error after replication:

You are not authorized for this operation.
6378295.1.0
Issue: On Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 8, using the Shift + Click feature to select more than 1,500 rows in a table simultaneously might cause a spike in CPU utilization and/or trigger an error message describing a Script error.
Workaround: Limit the number of table rows you select using Shift + Click.
