MS12-016: Vulnerability in Microsoft Silverlight Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2651026) (Mac OS X)

high Nessus Plugin ID 58095

Language:

Synopsis

A multimedia application framework installed on the remote Mac OS X host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Microsoft Silverlight installed on the remote host reportedly does not properly use unmanaged objects, which could allow a malicious web application to access memory in an unsafe manner.

An attacker may be able to leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the affected system if a user on it can be tricked into viewing a specially crafted web page using a web browser that can run Silverlight applications.

Solution

Microsoft has released a patch for Silverlight 4.
