Allowing ms-update on app-default, File blocking PE and therefore no windows updates

L4 Transporter

New PAN implementation and blocking per PA best practice (PE, multi-level, etc..) and allowing ms-update on application default.  However the WSUS server is not able to download any updates and its classifying a PE file as a threat.  The file in question is am_delta_patch_1.249.1313.0_52b04aae0eb450654fc89884b43d10b7ed5 and threat-id is 52060 but nothing matches in the Threat Vault.  

 

Do I need a specific rule allowing windows updates that allows PE files?

Go to Objects ,File Blocking and  create a new File Blocking policy.  In that policy add in Application ms-update  then the next tab File Types add PE and allow . Then Go to security policy in Polices the Security tab and create a rule for your WSUS server and make sure the file blocking policy in that rule is off or you use the new File Blocking policy you created. 

it's can't solve the issue of MS-update

Yes a rule would help. Go to security policy in Polices the Security tab and create a rule for your WSUS server and make sure the file blocking policy in that rule is off . Then move that rule to the top of your security policies right under any block rules you may have in those policies.
