SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 SnaBase service may terminate unexpectedly when it receives data from a Host Integration Server client over an encrypted connection. This problem may occur when any version of the Host Integration Server client is used.

Note This problem does not occur when Host Integration Server encryption is disabled.

The data encryption is implemented transparently for any application that uses the Host Integration Server 2004 APIs. Therefore, any software that uses the Host Integration Server 2004 client APIs automatically benefits from encryption. For example, a third-party emulator that uses the Host Integration Server 2004 client APIs automatically benefits from encryption.

Host Integration Server 2004 lets you encrypt data for client-to-server and server-to-server communications. By default, this feature is enabled automatically for Host Integration Server 2004 and for later versions. For earlier versions such as Microsoft SNA 4.0 and Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000, this option must be set explicitly.

An application that is running on the Host Integration Server client computer may form a message incorrectly. For example, a third-party emulator may form a message incorrectly. This message is encrypted, and then it is passed to the server for processing. When the SnaBase service processes the message data, an error may occur. When the error occurs, you experience the symptoms that are mentioned in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section.

This hotfix creates an internal firewall for the SnaBase service. By taking this action, the hotfix prevents the SnaBase service from processing any corrupted data that the SnaBase service may receive.
