Sophos Endpoint not updating through UTM IPS

It seems Sophos Endpoint Protection updates are getting blocked by the UTM's IPS engine. Here's what the logs show each time an update is attempted (and ultimately fails).

2015:07:24-12:41:41 astaro snort[4833]: id="2101" severity="warn" sys="SecureNet" sub="ips" name="Intrusion protection alert" action="drop" reason="FILE-FLASH Adobe Flash Player BrokerExtTextOutW invalid string and length parameter sandbox escape attempt" group="340" srcip="208.111.171.148" dstip="172.20.2.183" proto="6" srcport="80" dstport="50650" sid="33977" class="Attempted User Privilege Gain" priority="1" generator="1" msgid="0"
2015:07:24-12:42:13 astaro snort[4833]: id="2101" severity="warn" sys="SecureNet" sub="ips" name="Intrusion protection alert" action="drop" reason="FILE-FLASH Adobe Flash Player BrokerExtTextOutW invalid string and length parameter sandbox escape attempt" group="340" srcip="208.111.178.228" dstip="172.20.2.183" proto="6" srcport="80" dstport="50653" sid="33977" class="Attempted User Privilege Gain" priority="1" generator="1" msgid="0"

The source IP addresses resolve to the d3.sophosupd.com domain that the update is attempted from (may be different for others as it's a CDN and may be globally load balanced).

Temporary workaround is to exempt Rule ID 33977. Is Sophos working on a permanent fix for this conflict between the two products?
