DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

Severity: Low

Description: Occasionally, SAS/CONNECT users who are using IBM Platform LSF connect to the SAS/CONNECT server sessions for incorrect user IDs.

Potential Impact: The above condition can result in a security  breach.

Note: The hot fix changes the SAS/CONNECT spawner to increment the SASCLIENTPORT use between each session, rather than recycling previously used ports.
