high Nessus Plugin ID 66415

Language:

Synopsis

The version of the .NET Framework installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is running a version of the Microsoft .NET Framework that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A spoofing vulnerability exists that could allow an attacker to modify the contents of an XML file without invalidating the signature associated with the file.
 (CVE-2013-1336)

 - An authentication bypass vulnerability exists because of the way the Microsoft .NET framework improperly creates policy requirements for authentication when setting up WCF endpoint authentication. A remote attacker who exploited this vulnerability may be able to steal information or take actions in the context of an authenticated user. (CVE-2013-1337)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.5.1, 4.0, and 4.5.
