Madrid, March 10, 2005 - Microsoft has reported that moving or deleting
folders that contain subfolders in Microsoft Outlook could cause a Denial of
Service (DoS) in the Exchange Server 2003 it is connected to.
The problem arises because Exchange 2003 carries out a large number of calls
when trying to move or delete folders containing multiple subfolders,
exceeding the maximum stack size and overflowing the buffer.
A Microsoft Outlook user connected to the server could, accidentally or
deliberately, cause a general error and block the Exchange Server 2003 when
carrying out the actions described above.
In the article about this flaw Microsoft announces that the solution will be
included in the next Service Pack for Exchange Server 2003. For clients that
need an immediate solution, a patch has been released, which can be accessed
through Microsoft's technical support services.
