Host Intrusion Prevention 8.0 ClientControl utility returns invalid certificate signer details

Technical Articles ID: KB82610
Last Modified: 9/18/2020

Environment

McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention (Host IPS) 8.0

Summary

Host IPS 8.0 includes a ClientControl utility that can be used to provide certificate signer and binary hash information for any executable on the client system. (The information is available using the /execInfo command-line switch.)

Problem

The ClientControl utility returns invalid certificate signer details.

Cause

A comma acts as a separator for signer data. If the data has a comma in it, quotation marks are added. While saving, all signer data is saved as-is in the database. When the data is retrieved, the code assumes that there are no quotation marks as part of the signer data. As a result, part of the signer data is truncated.

Solution

This issue is resolved in Host IPS 8.0 Update 5, which is available when you log on to the ServicePortal at: https://support.mcafee.com/downloads.

Updates are cumulative; Technical Support recommends that you install the latest one.
