Issue: Rules migrated from Host IPS 7.0 might contain too many wildcards.
Resolution: This issue is resolved in the Host IPS 8.0.0.563 Extension Update. Although not officially supported, file paths in Host IPS 7.0 rules could contain double asterisk wildcards (c:/**/foo). After migrating to Host IPS 8.0, such paths would contain too many wildcards (c:/****/foo). Although this is not logically incorrect, it does not conform to our stated format. The policy migrator now prevents inappropriate double asterisks. See the related article for more information. |
