Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 on 64-bit (Programming Language Software). It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown function of the component JIT Compiler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The JIT compiler in Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 on 64-bit platforms does not properly perform optimizations, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .NET application that triggers memory corruption, aka ".NET Framework x64 JIT Compiler Vulnerability."
