Need solution and mitigation techniques for memory exploit attack signatures.

I need a solution

Hi Guys,

Recently, there was a couple of IPS signatures triggered as shown below:

Memory Exploit Attack: Memory Heap Spray detected for legit MS file : C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice14EXCEL.EXE

Attack: Structured Exception Handler Overwrite for file ccSvcHst.exe under path C:Program Files (x86)SymantecSymantec Endpoint Protection14.0.3929.1200.105BinccSvcHst.exe.

We also have symantec ATP Endpoint solution through which we receive incidents for these signatures. Upon checking, both files are legit and did not experience any applicaiton crash or anything. 

We are wondering how to handle memory exploit attacks in terms of handling, mitigation and action. Can any expert guide me with links and process for handling this. Was there any FP alerts reported for legit files before?

Thanks,

ccSvcHst.exe crash – Symantec Framework error

I need a solution

I have been seeing this error repeatedly on a single server in our environment. The SEP icon is not showing in the taskbar, but I can open the client (from the All Programs menu) and it opens without issue. I’ve checked the SEPM and it appears as online and fully updated. However, this error re-occurs about once a day. 

Error message below:

SEP 14.2 crashes

I need a solution

We have started testing SEP 14.2 and on atleast two of our Windows 10 machines we see that the SEP service crashes right after boot.

We have tried uninstalling all features except AV and the problem still persist.

If we are quick we are able to open the SEP GUI right after boot before it crashes. It will then be green until it turns red and malfunctioning.
At this point the SEPmaster service stops and we can’t open the GUI.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

The environment is enrolled into the cloud

The Attachmate.Emulation.Frame.EXE from Reflection Desktop 16 can experience a crash on load when the .NET machine.config file has malformed XML. The IBM ACCESS application for .NET can corrupt the .NET interface file named “machine.config” as noted in the following link.

14.0.1 Hot Fix 2 Still Crashing on Remote Connection

I need a solution

After applying hotfix 1 for the “Product Error Requires Attention” on some of my machines, I noticed using Bomgar to remote into clients would cause the crash as described here:

https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH248…

I applied the new hotfix today and SEP still crashes when remoting into the machine, but this time without a popup. The GUI will crash and all the services will then stop and then restart.

I have a case in, but the engineer is telling me the only way to roll back is to uninstall (using cleanwipe) from all the machines I’ve updated and then re-install fresh. (Case 13986722). Are there any other answers for me?
