  • mfeapfk

Cause

When file paths are being matched against Access Protection rules, the Access Protection driver can cause a system crash when the file path length is a certain size. The path size that causes the crash depends on the exact set of Access Protection rules in place (including customer-created rules and rules that ship with the product).

Solution

This issue is resolved with VSE 8.8 Patch 4. Patches are cumulative; therefore Technical Support recommends that you install the latest one. 

NOTE: Although VSE 8.8 Patch 3 includes the code to resolve the issue, VSE 8.8 P3 was released to provide support only for Windows 8 and Windows 2012, and installs only to these two operating systems.
