XADM: Buffer Is Not Cleared in Exchange LDAP Service (222621)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP1
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP2
This article was previously published under Q222621

SYMPTOMS

If you use Telnet to connect to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 3389, you may experience either of the following symptoms:
  • If you send an invalid Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) command, the Exchange Server computer may store all the data you send in a buffer until you end the connection, rather than clearing the buffer after the invalid command is sent. This could eventually cause the server to run out of memory.
  • If you send an LDAP bind request with a Distinguished Name that is longer than 1 KB, the directory service may stop unexpectedly.
