Security Issue: Security vulnerability in Spring Framework in 4.3.22 release fixed.


IO26005 IBM CMIS for Content Manager server crashes when concurrent uploads or deletes of documents are done.
(IBM CMIS users) The CMIS server is unable to handle concurrent CMIS clients trying to upload or delete documents due to a bug that could not identify exclusive requests from multiple users. With this fix, this issue is resolved.


IO27559 This fix has been removed due to causing regression of fix for IO26005.
This fix was delivered in IBM CMIS v3.0.5 Interim Fix 10 and caused regression of the fix for IO26005 and it has therefore been removed. This fix was for the symptom of memory leak that occurs in a very rare situation when there are multiple threads concurrently running from a single user. The workaround for this symptom is to tweak the number of threads based on document size.
