A denial of service vulnerability exists when .NET Framework improperly handles objects in heap memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a denial of service against a .NET application. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted application. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how .NET Framework handle objects in heap memory.
