(MS13-040) Vulnerabilities in .NET Framework Could Allow Spoofing (2836440)
Severity: MEDIUM
CVE Identifier: CVE-2013-1336,CVE-2013-1337
Advisory Date: JUN 14, 2013
DESCRIPTION
This security update patches two vulnerabilities in the Microsoft .NET Framework. The more severe of the vulnerabilities could allow spoofing if a .NET application receives a maliciously crafted XML file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could modify the contents of an XML file without invalidating the file's signature and could gain access to endpoint functions as if they were an authenticated user.
