Cause


This access violation in the Crypt32.dll module is exposed when clients attempt to validate an intermediate certificate which has been configured with a OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) URL. An OCSP may be configured manually in an intermediate certificate's properties, or in group policy.

The group policy URL is Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Public Key Policies -> Intermediate Certification Authorities as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee619786(WS.10).aspx

Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 file information notes
Important Windows Vista hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, only "Windows Vista" is listed on the Hotfix Request page. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows Vista" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.
  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table.
    VersionProductSR_LevelService branch
    6.0.600
