Symptoms

When certain end user interface pages (e.g. 401 response) are served by the APM, these include a unique parameter in the URL. This results in the leak of objects representing caches for these pages, because their unique parameter renders caching ineffective.

Impact

A memory leak in the TMM.

Conditions

This occurs when the following conditions are met: -- Use of SWG in Transparent mode. -- One of the following: + Use a logon page agent, an external logon page agent, or a 401 agent in the access policy. + Trigger an access policy evaluation when one is already in progress or when accessing a page that requires an established session.

Workaround

None (when the triggering conditions are encountered).

Fix Information

This release corrects the possible memory exhaustion issue in access end-user interface pages for transparent proxy/SWG cases.
