Out dated "Engine version"

Faisal Raza1

Dear All,

 

I've an issue with Engine version and its not up to date. Would anyone please assist the quick action to check for 1000s of machines and update accordingly with current version from Sophos.

 

Sophos Anti-Virus is installed on the remote host :

  Installation path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus
  Product version   : 10.8.2.334
  Engine version    : 3.73.0.2420 (This is out-dated and how can I update this since its all by system.)


The engine version is out-of-date. The oldest supported version from the vendor is 3.74.1.
Virus signatures last updated   : 2018/11/11
Virus signatures last updated   : 2018/11/11

As a result, the remote host might be infected by viruses.

 

Thanks in well Adv.

Faisal

    Hello Faisal and JT~,

    whom do you trust, Nessus or me [;)]?

    Seriously - tenable's description of the Nessus Plugin for Sophos (12215) has four links that refers to the Sophos site: The home page, two regarding the Latest IDE, and the fourth links to the Version release dates page (note that it refers only to the on-premise SESC, not Central). The Nessus page states the plugin was last Modified: 2018/10/10. Dunno if thie Engine check was introduced at this time, maybe.
    Two points are obvious though:
    1. tenebale has no direct information feed (i.e. official data from Sophos)
    2. they mis-interpret the version article

    As to 2.: It seems that neither the staged rollout is taken into account, nor the fact that these are proposed dates (it's not uncommon that a new version is behind this schedule)
