Professional 1.7.07

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.7.07 on Friday, 23 September 2016, a stable release containing bug fixes for a number of users. The release notably fixes a bug that caused excessive CPU consumption during active scanning in some situations and works around an OpenJDK bug that crashed the JVM when working with Burp project files on some Linux platforms.

What's compelling: A scanner that consumes excessive CPU during active scanning can degrade or stall the testing work it is meant to accelerate, and a JVM crash while handling project files puts in-progress engagement data at risk on affected Linux platforms.
