SYMPTOMS
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server may generate an access violation when the server processes an invalid LDAP client request. This causes the Inetinfo.exe process to stop.



CAUSE
When processing an LDAP request, the LDAP server builds an LDAP response structure. If the LDAP request is not correctly formatted, some fields may not be correctly initialized and may have some random values. Under rare circumstances, this may cause the LDAP server to crash.
