Symptoms

When a security policy has an encoding that has many secondary encodings (such as the Chinese encoding), and it receives transactions with parameters or URLs in different secondaries encoding at some high rate, if at the same the user reconfigures the security policy and changes the encoding to one of the secondary encodings, there is a chance that the Enforcer internal encoding table will get corrupted.

Impact

BD core when customer trying to apply policy on active unit.

Conditions
