ensure that your protection is up to date.

We are contacting you because our records indicate that your company

administering Sophos Anti-Virus on  Linux computers, please could you
pass this email on to that person as soon as possible

Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux 5.0.6 (released Friday 23 June) contains
a bug which has resulted in a loss of updating functionality.
An error will be generated when /opt/sophos-av/savupdate is run:

ERROR: Failed to read configuration 'UpdateSourcePath'

Although Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux will continue to protect
against malware, it will not be able to update itself.

Customers using Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux in conjunction with
gateway products will also be affected.
