Release Notes for AsyncOS 10.0.x for Cisco Web Security Appliances
 
  Important! Actions Required After Upgrading
Remove the existing entry for your appliance from the known hosts list in your ssh utility. Then ssh 
to the appliance and accept the connection with the new key. 
If you use SCP push to transfer logs to a remote server (including Splunk): Clear the old SSH host 
key for the appliance from the remote server. 
If your deployment includes a Cisco Content Security Management Appliance, see important 
instructions in the Release Notes for that appliance. 
File Analysis: Required Changes to View Analysis Result Details in the Cloud 
The requirement in this section was introduced in AsyncOS 8.8. 
If you have deployed multiple content security appliances (web, email, and/or management) and you 
want to view detailed file analysis results in the cloud for all files uploaded from any appliance in your 
organization, you must configure an appliance group on each appliance after upgrading. To configure 
appliance groups, see the “File Reputation Filtering and File Analysis” chapter in the user guide PDF. 
(This PDF is more current than the online help in AsyncOS 8.8.)
File Analysis: Verify File Types To Be Analyzed 
The File Analysis cloud server URL changed in AsyncOS 8.8, and as a result, the file types that can be 
analyzed may have changed after upgrade. You should receive an alert if there are changes. To verify the 
file types selected for analysis, select Security Services > Anti-Malware and Reputation and look at 
the Advanced Malware Protection settings. 
Unescaped Dots in Regular Expressions 
Following upgrades to the regular-expression pattern-matching engine, you may receive an alert 
regarding unescaped dots in existing pattern definitions after updating your system. Any unescaped dot 
in a pattern that will return more than 63 characters after the dot will be disabled by the Velocity 
pattern-matching engine, and an alert to that effect will be sent to you, and you continue to receive an 
alert following each update until you correct or replace the pattern. Generally, unescaped dots in a larger 
regular expression can be problematic and should be avoided.
