Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-029:
Flaw in Windows Function Could Allow Denial of Service (823803)

A flaw exists in a Windows NT Server 4.0 function that might cause a denial-of-service vulnerability. The flaw occurs because the affected function can cause memory that the function does not own to be freed when some overly long parameters are passed to the function. If the application that makes the request to the function does not carry out any user-input validation and permits the overly long parameters to be passed to the function, the function may free memory that the function does not own. Therefore, the application that passes the request might stop working.
