symantec endpoint protection ubuntu 20.04

On Ubuntu 20.04, ESET appears to be picking up the system installed openssl libraries, which are at 1.1.1f, and given that this is an LTS release, ought to be patched for known vulnerabilities. However for now the workaround runs perfectly for me.īy the way, even though I don't use Ubuntu 22.04 it is quite likely that EEA fails on Ubuntu 22.04 for the same reason and that one needs older versions for libssl and libcrypto as well. Of course there is no guarantee that this will work for ever and hopefully ESET will officially support Fedora in the future (at least this is the minimum I expect as a customer who used NDO32 before for years and who was forced to upgrade to EEA.). This time it should install and run smoothly 🙂

Uninstall EEA (the manually installed libs will remain).

Install compat-openssl10-1.0.86_64Ĭopy libssl.so and libcrypto.so which are part of this package to.

Install EEA - which of course fails when running the post actions

Checking with strace you will find that EEA for instance checks for libraries in /opt/eset/eea/lib before using the globally installed libraries. The reason is, because EEA for Linux needs quite old libssl and libcrypto libraries. Due to the support stop for ESET NOD32 which ran perfectly on Fedora, I upgraded to EEA for Linux and of cause the installtion on Fedora 36 failed 😞 Create this zip file from a current numbered folder on an existing SEP Linux installation, e.g.I had the same issue. Include pre-packaged definitions by adding a linuxdefs.zip file to the 'Repository' directory. Install only 'sep' package for core manual/scheduled scanning and management component, minus autoprotect and user interface. # dpgk -i sep.deb b sepap-圆4.deb on Ubuntu machines Rpm -Uhv sep.rpm sepui.rpm sepap-圆4.rpm # or sepap.rpm for 32-bit machines.

For example, from root prompt:Ĭp /path/to/prebuilt/autoprotect/*.ko /opt/Symantec/autoprotect/ This method will make no attempt to recompile autoprotect modules from source files and no developer tools need be installed. Prior to installing SEP on other Linux machines, copy any prebuilt *.ko modules into /opt/Symantec/autoprotect/ and rather than run the SEP install.sh script use the rpm command line (or dpkg command for *.deb packages) within the SEP 'Repository' directory. See Manually compile Auto-Protect kernel modules for Endpoint Protection for Linux. Install development tools on just one Linux machine to create pre-compiled modules if necessary.
