Microsoft .NET Framework Multiple Vulnerabilities
RISK: Medium Risk
TYPE: Operating Systems - Windows OS
XML Digital Signature Spoofing Vulnerability
A spoofing vulnerability exists when the Microsoft .NET Framework fails to properly validate the signature of a specially crafted XML file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could modify the contents of an XML file without invalidating the signature associated with the file.
Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in the way that the Microsoft .NET Framework improperly creates policy requirements for authentication when setting up custom WCF endpoint authentication. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability would have access to the endpoint functions as if they were authenticated, allowing an attacker to steal information or take any actions in the context of an authenticated user.
