Sophos stucks on Downloading

Hi All,

since yesterday my Sophos AV is not updating anymore. From /var/tslog/up2date_av.log the last events I see are:

2016-05-07 03:46:47 PM: savapi inc update...still looping

2016-05-07 03:47:06 PM: New savapi inc udate successfully done

Clicking on "update pattern now" does not change the up2date_av.log file at all.

Anyone is experiencing this issue?

Thanks.

  • Now even Avira stopped working.....Hope they will improve this aspect because on UTM happened very sporadically.

    Please provide a way to safe rebuild AV engines from CLI (from an older saved version).

    I tried even to rename pattern folder but nothing changed. I do not want to format the XG just because AV updates broke it.

  • Hi Luk,

    Can you check it by navigating through system> system services> malware protection.

    Thanks

  • Sachin, I wil check. I am out of the office and I will be back on thursday.

    Thanks.

  • I have the same issue (stuck on downloading Sophos AV since May 6th) I tried to fix it by rebooting the firewall, but then the download status changed to 'Failed'.

    As suggested:

    I've changed the web content filter from 'dual antivirus' to 'single antivirus' and I've changed the malware protection to 'Avira'

    After this, I've manually updated the patterns.

    The status of Sophos AV remains 'Failed'. So this workaround didn't do the trick. Any options to flush the update manually?

    When is the patch to be released?

  • I have found a post on here https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/f/46/t/73626#pi394=3

    posted by dempie, this has fixed my issues, it may sort yours out too.

    this uses the console.

    "In Main Menu choose:
    5. Device Management
    Then
    3. Advanced Shell.
    On command prompt type this command:
    mv /content/u2d/pattern /content/u2d/pattern.org
    This will rename the pattern file to pattern.org.
    Now update the pattern files with the GUI using System > Administration > Updates.
    Give the firewall some time to succeed the update process.

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards."

  • Thank you Tony. Before creating the thread, I already tried the solution and moved even other folder. The fix did not help.

    Thanks.

  • Thank you Tony, tried this, and after a while the Sophos AV definition was updated correctly to .9126.

    The Avira definition (.14391) however is two days old, is this correct? Update status is: "success"

  • Hi Luk,

    Please post u2d.log and fresh up2date_av.log.

    Thanks

  • I still have the same issue today even renaming patterns.

    It is very sad that there is no way to fix it.

  • Hi Luk,

    I investigated this, the issue is related with incorrect md5 checksum value passed , we are working to rectify this. This will be resolved with the next release. 

    Thanks

  • Sachin,

    I appreciate your help and luckly I am still using XG at home. You can release something wrong, it could happen. The problem is that you have not provided a workaround.

    Imagine I had the XG at work with 100 users and for this error, all web surfing traffic stopped working, do you image all the complaints from users and even from my Director?

    The other issue is reporting. Formatting the XG will fix the issue but all the reporting will be lost. Not a nice deal. It is not my fault if I have to format the XG.

    At home it is not a problem to lose reporting, but in working environment it is a big issue. You could say: buy iView but in some environment iView is not strictly needed so you should also provide a way to export reports and import again or the other option, provide a way to export them and use a tool (read-only) to read and query (no iView because is not free for customers).

    Hope it is clear now.

  • Hi All,

    A resolution to this question is posted on another thread, please refer : https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/f/129/p/77229/297105#297105.

    Thanks
