Recent Sophos update has broken HIP checks on Global Protect

[VAsupport]

We have an issue that we have logged a PA TAC case but wanted to stick out a forum post to see if others are having this issue.

It seems when the machine upgrades Sophos from 2.20.11 to 2.20.13, we get the following message:

"Your AntiVirus is not updated". HIP checks then fail. The only thing changed is the version of Sophos, but the HIP checks don't care about versions, or arent meant to care about versions.

This issue is happening on multiple portals deployed, all running different versions of PAN-OS. 9.0.3-h3, 9.1.7 and 10.1.3

Can confirm.  Same issue first noticed yesterday.

Same issue noticed yesterday.

Reinstalling Sophos has fixed the issue for us.

Unfortunately, reinstalling Sophos did not fix it for me.

We've had the same issue running 9.1.12-h3, we've deployed a work around but could really do with a fix. The work around we've implemented is stop checking for virus definitions within a specific period which is less than ideal.
