    Description

      I'm still working to get some specifics, but after querying maxinfo enough times it will attempt to access a dereferenced pointer and crash. Working to determine if this is specific to the SQL listener or the HTTP listener, as we're querying both. We are dumping information out of maxinfo at a rate of probably twice per second; but I'm able to reproduce this within 30 minutes or so by simply turning our polling rate way up.

      Logs report:

      I was able to get a core dump, as it may possibly contain passwords/hashes that we'd like to avoid sharing please reach out of me for a copy.

      Loading the core dump in GDB does get this:
