EUEM-265 | For CVE-2014-0050 and CVE-2013-2186, there is a security vulnerability on third-party software. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, an infinite loop, and CPU consumption via a crafted Content-Type header that bypasses a loop's intended exit conditions. |
For this Feature Pack, the following customer reported defects were corrected.
Defect ID | Description |
---|---|
EUEM-26 | Confidentiality policy erases malformed URL that are encoded from data. |
EUEM-50 | Trace custom field (object-level) does not have an extraction rule in 2.7 SP1, see Added requirement for a Trace object extraction rule |
EUEM-51 | Fixed End User Experience Monitoring not recognizing HTTP traffic over GRE tunnel. |
EUEM-56 | Corrected excessive CPU usage that occurred with Cloud Probe installations on a Windows platform. |

On-screen reports are now implemented using HTML5. This means the reports are available on all browser versions.
Previously, viewing on-screen reports required support for the NPAPI plugin, which some browsers no longer support.
On-screen reports enable you to visualize performance statistics in the Real User Analyzer by using pre-configured and custom reports.
As part of this change to HTML based on-screen reports, there are some changes in the reports capabilities.
Some reports types included two Y axes. For example, the Report for Latency has two Y axes, "Latency (ms)" on the left side and for "Requests" on the right side.
In releases v2.7.01 and earlier, the user can zoom and scroll both axes independently and each zoom/scroll only changes the parts of the graph that correspond to the zoom/scroll action.
After installing the feature pack v2.7.02, the user can zoom and scroll only using the axis on the right side of the report, and each zoom/scroll changes all the parts of the graph, not just the graph elements that correspond to the axis that the user performed the zoom/scroll action.
The Web beacon JavaScript library code was revised to better handle non-standard ports.
The JavaScript is also in the webBeacon_toolkit.zip that can be downloaded from the Toolkits table in the PDFs topic.
Newer operating system versions were added, and earlier operating system versions were removed, for the Cloud Probe system requirements.
