I need a solution

I was tracking down a memory leak and seem to have traced it to Windows WFP. Does SEP use the WFP?

Here is how a tracked down the leak:

Running poolmon:

Googling the fwpx pool tag I can see some issues people had with the McAfee anti-virus product (but Symantec SEP 12 is installed on this server).

According to this Technet blog post the fwpx pool tag is the related to this driver:
Fwpx - fwpkclnt.sys - WFP NBL tagged context

Then I googled more and found this kb:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2885980

According to the kb the FwpsAllocateCloneNetBufferlist() API leaks memory.

But before I install the hot-fix I'm still curious what program is using the WFP which is causing this error. I can't think of any software other than SEP on this server which might use this, but just want to be sure. Of course its not SEPs fault its the API.
