 KB19841MCV06MCV06Issue:
  • The 8.3.MCV06 and current signatures take more memory than the previous engine version.
Resolution:
  • 8.3.MCV06 patch increases the memory limit from 512 MB per scanner to 700 MB per scanner.  Firewalls with smaller memory (4 GB or less) should be evaluated to see if a configuration change in the number of scanners may be needed.  For more information, see Knowledge Base article 19481.
