KB92937 provides information on how to verify and install the primary certificate.įailure to have a valid certificate will cause product issues including reduced detection efficacy. However, in environments where automatic management of root certificates is disabled and the primary certificate has not been manually deployed, customers will potentially be impacted. Generally, certificates are auto-updated through operation systems and customers will not be impacted. I can keep the antivirus definitions updated by downloading the DAT files manually (from here) and copy them onto each ser. None of these machines are connected to the internet. Out of an abundance of caution McAfee is informing customers of this impending event. I have eight Windows Server 2012r2 servers on a local network, all of which have McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 installed. After May 30, 2020, only the primary certificate will be valid. If either certificate, or both, are present in your environment, TLS will function correctly prior to May 30, 2020. Two certificates validate McAfee TLS chains, including a primary expiring in 2038 and a secondary expiring on May 30, 2020. The McAfee product line uses TLS for secure communication.
