Severity: HIGH
CVE Identifier: CVE-2013-0001,CVE-2013-0002,CVE-2013-0003,CVE-2013-0004
Advisory Date: JAN 09, 2013
DESCRIPTION
This patch addresses vulnerabilities in the .NET Framework, which when exploited successfully can gain remote attackers the same user rights as the logged user. In addition, it can also allow elevation of privilege via a specially crafted Web page viewed using a web browser that runs XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs). These vulnerabilities also can be used to evade Code Access Security (CAS) restrictions.
