CSCwe72888 - Secure Endpoint 8.1.5 creating excessive temp files

[fatesmess]

I'm just throwing this out there so others are aware if they come across issues related to this specific bug. Cisco's advice is to roll the version back to 8.1.3. However, if you do this, you're introducing a critical security vulnerability, specifically CVE-2023-20032, which has a base score of 9.8 and has a public working proof of concept.

Hi,

the bug has been identifieed recently. It should be fixed in the newere release but downgrading to 8.1.3 is a temporary and immedate resolution.

You can lookout for the bug to know the fixed version in higher releases.
