Intermittent issues when printing
Applications and printer drivers that leverage the Windows Javascript engine (jscript.dll) for processing print jobs might experience one or more of the following symptoms:
  • Applications interacting with the V4 printer driver might close or error when printing. Issues might only be encountered when printing but might also be encountered at any time the app is running, depending on when the app interacts with the print driver.
  • The printer spooler service (spoolsv.exe) might close or error in jscript.dll with exception code 0xc0000005 causing the print jobs to stop processing. Only part of the print job might print and the rest might be canceled or error.

Symantec identified the potential for a negative interaction that may occur after Windows Updates code signed with SHA-2 only certificates are installed on devices with Symantec or Norton antivirus programs installed.

Resolution: The safeguard hold has been removed. Symantec has completed its evaluation of the impact of this update and future updates to Windows 7/Windows 2008 R2 and has determined that there is no increased risk of a false positive detection for all in-field versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection and Norton antivirus programs.

Intermittent issues when printing
Applications and printer drivers that leverage the Windows Javascript engine (jscript.dll) for processing print jobs might experience one or more of the following symptoms:
  • Applications interacting with the V4 printer driver might close or error when printing. Issues might only be encountered when printing but might also be encountered at any time the app is running, depending on when the app interacts with the print driver.
  • The printer spooler service (spoolsv.exe) might close or error in jscript.dll with exception code 0xc0000005 causing the print jobs to stop processing. Only part of the print job might print and the rest might be canceled or error.

Advisory: Bluetooth encryption key size vulnerability disclosed (CVE-2019-9506)
On August 13, 2019, Microsoft released security updates to address a Bluetooth key length encryption vulnerability. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need specialized hardware and would be limited by the signal range of the Bluetooth devices in use. For more information about this industry-wide issue, see CVE-2019-9506 | Bluetooth Encryption Key Size Vulnerability in the Microsoft Security Update Guide and important guidance for IT pros in KB4514157.
