Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-035 - Critical
Vulnerabilities in .NET Framework Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2693777)
Published: Tuesday, May 08, 2012
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in the
.NET Framework. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution on a
client system if a user views a specially crafted webpage using a web browser
that can run XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs). 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.
This security update is rated Critical for all supported editions of the
Microsoft .NET Framework on all supported editions of Microsoft Windows. For
more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in
this section.

Vulnerability Information
.NET Framework Serialization Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0160
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Microsoft .NET Framework
due to the improper serialization of untrusted input. 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.
To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0160.
.NET Framework Serialization Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0161
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Microsoft .NET Framework
due to the improper serialization of untrusted input through partially trusted
assemblies. 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.
To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0161.
