McAfee DAT troubles

Thanks to reader Dan for sharing the following information:

McAfee has confirmed that incremental DAT 6682 may trigger message scan failures and a system crash in GroupShield Exchange (MSME), GroupShield Domino, and McAfee Email Gateway 7 (MEG).  McAfee recommends that customers do NOT upload DAT 6682.
More information will be available on the McAfee KnowledgeBase (https://mysupport.mcafee.com) in article KB70380 (https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB70380). Please check back to this KB article for further updates.

Axway spammed me all day because of this. It's causing their email security products to fail and queue email.

This appears to be a big issue, all of our email is scanned by McAfee as well
