DarthVitrial Posted June 1, 2018 ID:1247401 Share Posted June 1, 2018 If you use the built-in updater to update from an older version of VLC (3.0.2) to the latest (3.0.3), malwarebytes blocks it as an exploit. (this doesn't happen if you manually download the latest version from the website and update through the full installer). -Log Details- Protection Event Date: 5/31/18 Protection Event Time: 7:30 PM Log File: 52123de2-653b-11e8-981d-485ab619a59e.json Administrator: Yes -Software Information- Version: 3.5.1.2522 Components Version: 1.0.367 Update Package Version: 1.0.5326 License: Premium -System Information- OS: Windows 10 (Build 17134.81) CPU: x64 File System: NTFS User: System -Exploit Details- File: 0 (No malicious items detected) Exploit: 1 Malware.Exploit.Agent.Generic, , Blocked, [0], [392684],0.0.0 -Exploit Data- Affected Application: VLC Player Protection Layer: Application Behavior Protection Protection Technique: Exploit payload file blocked File Name: C:\Users\myuseraccountsaysmyrealnamesoIremovedthat\AppData\Local\Temp\vlc-3.0.3-win64.exe URL: (end) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Arthi Posted June 1, 2018 Staff ID:1247405 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi, Thanks for reporting. We have pushed in an exclusion. The blocks should not be happening anymore. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skier Posted June 2, 2018 ID:1247501 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It happened to me this morning (several hours after the above post) and so I manually downloaded and installed the VLC Media Player installation file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted June 8, 2018 ID:1248968 Share Posted June 8, 2018 @Arthi I have currently installed the latest version v3.5.1.2522 CU 1.0.374 update package 1.0.5406 If I even try to launch VLC it just dings and never opens, it gets blocked by Anti-Exploit. If I turn off Anti-Exploit it runs fine, if I turn it back on while VLC is running it kills the VLC process. VLC 3.0.3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Arthi Posted June 11, 2018 Staff ID:1249546 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hi Skier, and Firefox, Are you still facing issues with VLC? We are unable to reproduce it internally since we pushed out the exclusion. Can you please attach the logs here, so we can take a look. Thanks.
