Common language runtime (CLR) issues

When you run Microsoft SQL Server workloads that use large amounts of memory, out-of-memory errors occur even if sufficient memory is available.

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) issues

When an application uses the System.Management namespace to connect to a remote computer, a memory leak may occur. This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:

• The application enters credentials for the remote computer by using the ConnectionOption parameter.
• The application uses the ConnectionOption parameter as a part of the ManagementScope parameter to connect to the remote computer.
• The ManagementScope parameter is used to perform operations.

ASP.NET issues

Assume that a validator control is defined inside a naming container. When you use the SetFocusOnError ASP.NET validation property, the focus is not set to a control in the container. This issue occurs even when a control fails the validation process.

Note After you install this hotfix rollup, and a control inside the container fails the validation process, the focus is set to the first control that failed the validation process.
