XADM: Store.exe May Access Violate While Replicating Public Folders

ID: Q169689

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Exchange Server information store may generate an access violation in Store.exe while replicating public folders.

CAUSE

The length of the buffer that holds the path to the public folder to be replicated was calculated incorrectly, resulting in a buffer too small to hold the path string. When the path to the public folder was written to the buffer, the buffer was overwritten and the header to the adjacent buffer in the heap was corrupted.

STATUS
