NDIS_NET_BUFFER_LIST_INFO_ILLEGALLY_TRANSFERRED
NDIS NET_BUFFER_LIST metadata violation
NDIS_NET_BUFFER_LIST_INFO_ILLEGALLY_TRANSFERRED is bug check code 0x00000146. The built-in table identifies it as NDIS_NET_BUFFER_LIST_INFO_ILLEGALLY_TRANSFERRED
; the useful diagnostic question is what Windows component raised the stop and which invariant failed.
This bug check is specific to the Windows networking driver stack. It indicates that NET_BUFFER_LIST information was transferred illegally, usually by a miniport, filter, or protocol driver mishandling NBL metadata ownership.
How to read the parameters
- The stack should identify whether the offender is an NDIS miniport, lightweight filter, protocol driver, or virtual switch extension.
- NET_BUFFER_LIST information fields have ownership and lifetime rules; copying them blindly across cloned or indicated packets can violate those rules.
- The bug check is not a TCP/IP protocol error.
What to check in the dump
- Use NDIS verifier and Driver Verifier on the suspect network driver.
- Check VPN, firewall, packet capture, antivirus, virtual switch, and NIC offload/filter drivers.
- Capture whether the crash occurs on send, receive, packet cloning, offload, or virtualization paths.
