Descriptions

Mono, when Moonlight before 2.3.0.1 or 2.99.x before 2.99.0.10 is used, does not properly validate arguments to generic methods, which allows remote attackers to bypass generic constraints, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via a crafted method call.

Mono, cuando Moonlight en versiones anteriores a la 2.3.0.1 o 2.99.x anteriores a la 2.99.0.10 es utilizado, no valida apropiadamente los argumentos a los métodos genéricos. Lo que permite a atacantes remotos evitar las restricciones genéricas y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una llamada a un método modificado.

Mono/Moonlight suffers from a local privilege escalation vulnerability.
