Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4, and 4.5 does not properly handle function pointers, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted XAML browser application (aka XBAP) or (2) a crafted .NET Framework application, aka ".NET Framework Memory Access Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a remote code execution issue in legacy Microsoft .NET Framework versions. A malicious XBAP or .NET application could cause the framework to mishandle memory and run attacker-controlled code. Business urgency depends on whether old .NET runtimes or XBAP-capable workflows still exist in the estate. Exposure is most likely in legacy Windows environments retaining affected .NET Framework versions, particularly where users can launch XBAP content or untrusted .NET applications. The source bundle does not identify affected operating systems, deployment conditions, or compensating controls. Treat as a legacy technology risk with high impact. Prioritize confirmation and patch status for systems that still run old .NET versions or accept untrusted application content. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MS12-038 for applicable security updates and deployment guidance.; Patch or retire systems running affected .NET Framework versions.; Limit execution of untrusted .NET applications where legacy runtimes remain..
