SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) may experience an access violation in the Microsoft Application Center 2000 request forwarder filter (RfFilExt.dll). This access violation causes IIS to quit.



CAUSE
The Application Center 2000 request forward filter might pass signed negative values to the run-time library isxdigit routine. However, this routine processes only unsigned values. The incorrect value type causes an access violation.
