DAT update requests to CommonUpdater2 result in a full DAT download instead of an incremental update

DAT update requests to CommonUpdater2 result in a full DAT download instead of an incremental update
Technical Articles ID:   KB87983
Last Modified:  10/27/2016

Environment
McAfee DAT Files

Summary
When attempts are made to update the DATs for your McAfee security products through CommonUpdater2, a full DAT update is downloaded instead of an incremental (smaller) DAT update. This can have a negative impact on your network infrastructure due to the increased bandwidth requirement of updating multiple clients with the full DAT set.

NOTE: This issue affects only those customers updating from CommonUpdater2. Other CommonUpdater locations such as CommonUpdater and CommonUpdater3 are unaffected.
Why does this happen?
Typically clients pull incremental updates when updating DATs. These incremental updates will update the client from their current DAT revision to the latest. In order to achieve this, a delta is constructed from the previous day's content to the current day's content. This delta forms the incremental DAT, which is posted on CommonUpdater2 for download.

On Tuesday, October 25th, an update was posted to CommonUpdater2 that resulted in an invalid incremental. When the McAfee point-products attempt to apply this update, they detect this invalid incremental and initiate a full DAT download instead to ensure that valid protection is maintained.

NOTE: Only products using V2 DATs are affected by this issue.  ENS DATs (V3 DATs) are not affected.


Should I change to a different CommonUpdater location?
No.  Even though the other CommonUpdater locations are not affected, switching CommonUpdater locations will trigger another full update by default to ensure full DAT coverage.


What can I do about this issue?
To mitigate against this issue, you should configure your ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) to spread the update load over a longer timeframe. For details on how to configure ePO to do this, refer to the Configuring product updates section of the ePO 5.3 Best Practices Guide: PD26432. Specifically, you should aim to reduce the impact on your network by doing the following:

Configuring the client tasks to perform updates at an off-peak time
Setting the repeat interval and randomization appropriately for the size of your estate and available bandwidth

NOTE: If you have Global Updates enabled and have not run a repository 'pull' since Monday 24th, deselect DAT under Server Settings, Global Updates on your ePO servers, and then schedule your updates as described above.


What is Intel Security doing about it?
Because any changes would result in more customers needing to download a full update, we are taking no additional action at this time. However, Intel Security will be implementing additional tests and checks to prevent incidents of this type in the future.

Pokémon - Cyber Soldier Porygon/Electric Soldier Porygon - Seizure Scene Clip [1997]




This, is the famous scene from an episode of Pokémon called Dennō Senshi Porygon (でんのうせんしポリゴン) (Translated in English as Cyber Soldier Porygon or Electric Soldier Porygon). The scene itself contains Pikachu, who uses a Thunderbolt attack on some vaccine missiles from a computer program, causing an explosion, emitting a flashing blue and red light, which flashes very fast. This, is the scene that has induced photosensitive epileptic seizures in a substantial number of Japanese viewers, an incident referred to as the "Pokémon Shock" (ポケモンショック Pokemon Shokku) by the Japanese press. 685 viewers were taken to hospitals; 2 people remained hospitalized for more than two weeks. Due to this, the episode has not been rebroadcast worldwide. After the incident, the Pokémon anime went into a four-month hiatus, and it returned on TV Tokyo in April 16, 1998, thus making the episode perhaps the most controversial episode of the entire Pokémon series. Since then, the episode has been parodied and referenced in cultural media, including The Simpsons and South Park.

This episode aired only once on December 16, 1997 and was never shown again.
