SYMPTOMS
There is a bug in the BROWSER.SYS driver that can occur when
processing an illegal datagram on streams transports. If the datagram
passed in is shorter than will fit in a valid transaction Server Message
Block (SMB), the browser checks beyond the end of the buffer, possibly
doing access violation.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S.
Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. For
