TCP Health Check   

Prior to this features, SWG would send live traffic to Next Hop Proxies to determine its health which resulted in delayed response in case Next Hop Proxy is not healthy. With this feature, SWG will have knowledge of the health of the Next Hop Proxies beforehand. For more details, see TCP Health Check for Next Hop Proxy.

Server Chunk Encoding   

A new check box option is provided in proxy control event settings, which allows to enforce chunk encoding transfer on server requests from SWG. For more details, see Server Side Chunk Encoding

Connect Response Based on HTTP-Protocol  

Connection Established response message always shows HTTP1.0 even if the HTTP Protocol header of the request was HTTP1.1. Now you can configure this under Proxy Control Event, where we can select to send back the Connection Established Response text based on the HTTP Protocol version received.   For more details, see Configure Connection Established Response based on HTTP Protocol Version.

Support to pipelined application/HTTP  

A new media type has been added to media type filtering for detection and Openers for pipelined Application/HTTP.

Vulnerabilities Fixed     

This Secure Web Gateway release includes updates addressing publicly disclosed CVEs, regardless of whether a CVE has been shown to impact customers.
The following medium and higher-level CVEs (CVSS 3.0 >= 4) were involved:

Reference CVE  Description
WP-5935 CVE-2023-46589 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat.Tomcat from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M10, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.15, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.82 and from 8.5.0 through 8.5.95 did not correctly parse HTTP trailer headers. A trailer header that exceeded the header size limit could cause Tomcat to treat a single request as multiple requests leading to the possibility of request smuggling when behind a reverse proxy. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M11 onwards, 10.1.16 onwards, 9.0.83 onwards or 8.5.96 onwards, which fix the issue.
