Update Mcafee Linux
.Even with all the protections afforded by the network, including firewalls, edge routers, and other protective devices, it is still important that malware protection be implemented at the host level. Virus scanning software can help detect and eliminate the threat so that the network, servers, and most importantly the data is safeguarded from maleficent activity.Software RequirementsTo meet the prerequisites of the McAfee software check that the following packages are installed or install them per standard RPM management. For Oracle Linux (or Redhat) 6 Update 6, the following package are required to be installed, including all dependencies, if they are not already present. # yum install unzip# yum install httpd# yum install ed# yum install kernel-devel# yum install pam# yum install libgcc# yum install pam.i686# yum install libgcc.i686To verify that the required packages are installed, use the “rpm -qa” command to validate that each is present.Install Software:Once you download and stage the McAfee software to the server, it will need to be unzipped and installed per the documentation. This is a two stage process. The first stage installs the McAfee Runtime and McAfee Agent. The second installs VirusScan for Linux Enterprise.

The following tasks highlight the steps taken to perform these actions. Shree Niraula VSEL-07Issues Encountered:Overall the process to install and configure McAfee VSE was straightforward with one exception. Even though Oracle Linux 6, Update 6 is supported I have been unable to find a way to make on-access scanning work. From the documentation Ubuntu Linux with the 3.8.xx kernel does not support on-access scanning, but the documentation does not indicate that this would be the same for Oracle Linux running this kernel.
The other issue encountered has been the configuration of email notification. When attempting to configure the SMTP settings for Office 365, accepting the changes prompts an error code 25, unable to attach to kernel. These two issues are being investigated and will be updated accordingly when resolved.Conclusion:Now that we have successfully installed, configured, and tested the McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise for Linux software, we are better prepared to handle malware attacks on our system.
This is only one part of an overall defensive posture to protect assets, but clearly is an important one.
