RiskMinder(Arcot RiskFort)

Cause

Resolution

Contact support for a hot fix that provides a version of libRiskAuthDeviceDNA.a  that does not contain references to UIWebView in the executable code.  The references to  string "UIWebView" if found are in the dormant/commented out part of the code and hence should be ignored. At 9.x the MD5 checksum of file  libRiskAuthDeviceDNA.a at the time of writing this KB is - b0297f6fd10280205cd97247bc5dd27b

MD5 Checksum shown using a Unix prompt

Ignore these matches if your MD5 checksum above is found correct  (shown using a unix prompt) 
# grep -U "UIWebView" libRiskAuthDeviceDNA.a
