Microsoft .NET Framework Parameter Validation Vulnerability
RISK: High Risk
TYPE: Operating Systems - Application Platforms
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft .NET Framework validates parameters when passing data to a function. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
