Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the Windows Forms (aka WinForms) component in Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 SP3, 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4, and 4.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted XAML browser application (XBAP) or (2) a crafted .NET Framework application that leverages improper counting of objects during a memory copy operation, aka "WinForms Buffer Overflow Vulnerability."

Desbordamiento de búfer en el componente Windows Forms (también conocido como WinForms) de Microsoft. NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3, 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4 y 4.5 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de (1) un solicitud modificada del explorador XAML (XBAP) o (2) una aplicación .NET Framework diseñada que aprovecha el conteo incorrecto de objetos durante una operación de copia de memoria, también conocido como "Vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer de WinForms".

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft .NET Framework. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters.ConvertToMemory() method inside the .NET Framework. The function allocates an array based on the value of the parameter this.param.Length and then uses a loop terminated by the same parameter to fill the array with data. If another thread changes the value of this.param.Length between the array creation and loop this can result in a heap buffer overflow that can lead to remote code execution under the context of the current program.
