XFOR: Notes Connector Crashes When Importing Too-Long Field

ID: Q191286

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

If you are performing directory synchronization between Exchange Server and Lotus Notes, and you open the Exchange Notes Connector on the Exchange Server computer and click "Immediate full reload" in the dirsync tag, the Exchange Server registers an access violation in the function CreateMIFModify (module Lsdxants.exe).

CAUSE

One field in the imported document is larger than the 512-byte size of the buffer used to read the data. The buffer then overwrites the stack, and the access violation occurs when trying to return from this function.

WORKAROUND

The stack in the Dr. Watson log contains the faulty field. Reducing the field size to less than 512 bytes resolves the issue.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5.
