Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * IBM Personal Communications sessions using MSCAPI store for * * secure connection. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * The presentation space (PS) of an IBM Personal * * Communications emulator session may get partially updated. * * This may happen for secure connections established using * * MSCAPI store. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The length of the data being decrypted was not properly handled, when encrypted data was received partially. This led to loss of the data received from the host, thereby causing partial updating of the presentation space. This is a regression caused by APAR IC92316. PCSMSSEC.DLL code changes have been rolled back to correct the problem. Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.12 Refresh Pack
