MS12-016 - Critical : Vulnerabilities in .NET Framework and Microsoft Silverlight Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2651026) - Version: 1.1

Posted on 15 February 2012

There is an newer version: MS12-016 - Version: 1.3

Critical

Severity Rating: Critical
Revision Note: V1.1 (February 14, 2012): Added an entry to the update FAQ to announce a detection change for KB2668562 for Microsoft Silverlight 4 when installed on Windows clients and servers to correct an installation issue. This is a detection change only. There were no changes to the security update files. Customers who have already successfully updated their systems do not need to take any action.
Summary: This security update resolves one publicly disclosed vulnerability and one privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft Silverlight. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution on a client system if a user views a specially crafted web page using a web browser that can run XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs) or Silverlight applications. 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.
