SA37304

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37304/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to a stack overflow error in Active
Directory, Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), and Active
Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS) when parsing LDAP or
LDAPS requests. This can be exploited via a specially crafted request
to cause the system to stop responding.
