Not sure if this is the right fix? We've added this issue to our memory dump diagnostic which can confirm.

Symptoms

On a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, heap corruption randomly occurs in the Svchost.exe process. This heap corruption causes a critical exception together with the following error code:

STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION (0xC0000374)

Notes

  • The stack dump file that is generated when this issue occurs indicates possible heap corruption in the following location:

    sspicli!DisconnectRpcConnection+0x23

  • The service that fails when this issue occurs may restart automatically. Therefore, you may not notice the failure itself. You may only notice that a new application dump file is created.

Cause

This issue may occur if the Wired AutoConfig service or the Remote Access Connection Manager service calls the RasEapInitialize method in two threads at the same time.
