It's a Malware Patrol signature so you should report it to them, not Sansecurity:

I don't know what update documentation Malware Patrol does now, I
stopped using them in 2013.

To see what the signature contains you can use 'sigtool', alternatively
grep the database file(s) for the string 'MBL_82485625'.  I tend to use
the grep '-a' option when I grep things like signature files.
