- MS09-061 - Critical: Vulnerabilities in the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime Could Allow Remote Code Execution (974378) - Version:1.4



MS10-041 - Important: Vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework Could Allow Tampering (981343) - Version:1.2
Severity Rating: Important - Revision Note: V1.2 (June 22, 2010): Revised this bulletin to announce a detection logic change to fix a Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) issue with Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. This is a detection change only that does not affect the files contained in the initial update. Customers who have successfully updated their systems do not need to reinstall this update.

Summary: This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework. The vulnerability could allow data tampering of signed XML content without being detected. In custom applications, the security impact depends on how the signed content is used in the specific application. Scenarios in which signed XML messages are transmitted over a secure channel (such as SSL) are not affected by this vulnerability.

MS10-026 - Critical: Vulnerability in Microsoft MPEG Layer-3 Codecs Could Allow Remote Code Execution (977816) - Version:1.1
Severity Rating: Critical - Revision Note: V1.1 (June 22, 2010): Revised this bulletin to announce a detection logic change to fix a reoffer issue with MPEG Layer-3 codecs on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4. This is a detection change only that does not affect the files contained in the initial update. Customers who have successfully updated their systems do not need to reinstall this update.

Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft MPEG Layer-3 audio codecs. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opened a specially crafted AVI file containing an MPEG Layer-3 audio stream. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, 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.

MS09-061 - Critical: Vulnerabilities in the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime Could Allow Remote Code Execution (974378) - Version:1.4
Severity Rating: Critical - Revision Note: V1.4 (June 22, 2010): Removed .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 as an affected component on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Summary: This security update resolves three privately reported vulnerabilities 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, or if an attacker succeeds in persuading a user to run a specially crafted Microsoft .NET application. 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. The vulnerabilities could also allow remote code execution on a server system running IIS, if that server allows processing ASP.NET pages and an attacker succeeds in uploading a specially crafted ASP.NET page to that server and executing it, as could be the case in a Web hosting scenario. Microsoft .NET applications, Silverlight applications, XBAPs and ASP.NET pages that are not malicious are not at risk of being compromised because of this vulnerability.
