The 5709 content version included a loader for signature 6666, which was unintended. This issue only affected systems that previously experienced the original Java-related issue with security content 5660 installed.
Other observations:
- Issue might result from Host IPS security content version 5660, posted on May 27, 2014. Host IPS content version 5660 added one new signature: Signature 6666 - Generic Java Sandbox Escape Exploit Detected. Otherwise, the content is identical Host IPS content version 5626, which was released on May 13, 2014.
- Latency might be attributed to signature 6666 - Generic Java Sandbox Escape Exploit Detected.
Why did the issue reoccur with Host IPS 8.0 Content 5709?
Host IPS content version 5660 added one new signature: Signature 6666 - Generic Java Sandbox Escape Exploit Detected. Signature 6666 updated
jsbp.dll and
jsbp.jar, located in the Host IPS 8.0 program installation folder.
Security content version 5709, released June 10, 2014, will inadvertently load the JSBP resource files, even though signature 6666 is
not included in security content version 5709. This behavior is unintended and security content version 5709 has been recalled and replaced with security content version 5710.
