IPS false positive alert: blocks Symantec AV defs.

Rule ID 17297 SPECIFIC-THREATS McAfee VirusScan on-access scanner long unicode filename handling buffer overflow attempt.
 
This blocks Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager from retreiving updated definitions through Live Update for disseminating to client systems. This is a new rule delivered on Wednesday in u2d-ips-7-193.i686.rpm. I would venture a guess that this is a new "bad" rule.  If you use Symantec Endpoint Protection, you'll want to disable this rule.
