DOCUMENT:Q107382 15-JUN-2001 [sna] TITLE :SNA Server Application Exception PRODUCT :Microsoft SNA Server PROD/VER:WINDOWS:2.0,2.1,2.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbnetwork ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, on platform(s): - the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== An application exception occurs in SNA Server and a Dr. Watson log is generated. The log shows that exception C0000005 has occurred in module SNASERVR. This only happens when the Attachmate Extra print emulator communicates with SNA Server. CAUSE ===== This error is observed when the Attachmate Extra print emulator sends an Open(PLU) response to the SNA Server over it's SSCP-LU connection, rather than the PLU-SLU connection. The OPEN(PLU) response uses the FMI interface which is a trusted interface. Because this is a trusted interface SNA Server does not verify that the destination value is correct. When the PLU session attempts to process the incorrect response, the exception occurs. RESOLUTION ========== Microsoft has updated the SNA Server 2.11 file, SNASERVR.EXE, to validate the destination of the Open(PLU) response, rather than simply attempting to process the message. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service Pack.
