Symptoms
Assume that you use both an IP telephone and a computer to sign in to Microsoft Lync 2010. After you sign in to Lync 2010, the IP telephone restarts unexpectedly. The IP telephone also experiences a memory leak issue.
Cause
This issue occurs because the data in the endpoint cache of the IP telephone and the computer is out of sync. When the data is out of sync, the IP telephone receives many SUBSCRIBE messages that follow BENOTIFY events. Therefore, the IP telephone runs out of memory and restarts.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, install the following cumulative update:
