Symptoms
Some applications may crash on a computer that is running one of the following operating systems:
-
Windows Vista
-
Windows Server 2008
-
Windows 7
-
Windows Server 2008 R2
This issue usually occurs when you use the following applications:
-
Windows Explorer
-
Microsoft Office applications
-
Windows Movie Maker
Cause
This issue occurs because of a known issue in Ole32.dll. When certain applications implement the IEnumFORMATETC interface but do not implement the IEnumFORMATETC::Next() function correctly, Ole32.dll adds a malformed data structure to the system clipboard. When another process queries the Clipboard later, the processes may receive this malformed data structure. Therefore, heap corruption occurs in this process.
