New Features and Resolved Issues
This update includes all features and fixes previously released in version 9.3 Service Pack 1 (as described in KB 7021712), plus the following additional changes.
Enhancements
- Extra! will now run on Microsoft Windows 10 without errors at load time. For more information, see KB 7021713.
- The ability to hide a TN3270 Associated Printer Session at launch time has been added by setting the printer session EPP file parameter to WindowsState=0.
- The host port information configured in a printer session profile (EPP file) can now be used when the display session loads an Associated TN3270 printer session. The value AssociateUseTerminalCx=0 can be used in the [Connection] section of the printer session EPP file to allow the Associated printer session to connect to a different Host than the display session.
Security Updates
- The PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences vulnerability has been resolved (CVE-2015-0289). For more information, see Security Alerts - Extra!.
- The Base64 decode vulnerability has been resolved (CVE-2015-0292). For more information, see Security Alerts - Extra!.
- Extra! no longer allows the use of a RSA temporary key in a non-export RSA key exchange cipher suite which would downgrade the security of a TLS 1.2 session (CVE-2015-0204). For more information, see Security Alerts - Extra!.
- Reflection FTP Client Stack Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability has been resolved (CVE-2014-5211): For more information, see Security Alerts - Extra!.
- When the IBM host session security type is set to Microsoft SSL v.3.0, both the “Verify server certificate†and “Host name must match certificate†options now work as documented.
5250 Fixes
- 5250 terminal sessions where the AS/400 sends large amounts of screen data followed immediately by Save Screen commands no longer will randomly crash.
- Connection information for 5250 Host sessions is now displayed on the status bar for all localized non-English language versions.
Printing Fixes
- Launching a display session (EDP file) with a TN3270 Associated printer session (EPP file) via an OLE application will now correctly launch both the display and printer sessions in a reliable manner.
- The EXTRA.EXE process for an "Associated 3270 printer session" will now consistently close when the EXTRA.EXE process for a display session is closed by an automation or API application.
Additional Fixes
- ZoomText magnification and screen reading software for the visually impaired is now able to track the cursor in 3270 emulation sessions under Windows 7.
- Resolved an issue where random errors of “Failed to destroy ACT_aomTN3270 Object…" occurred when connecting and disconnecting numerous EXTRA! TN3270 sessions at the same time.
- Reflection FTP Client will successfully load with no errors when run as a Published Application under Citrix XenApp 6.5.
