A denial of service vulnerability exists when the XmlLite runtime (XmlLite.dll) improperly parses XML input. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a denial of service against an XML application. A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by issuing specially crafted requests to an XML application. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the XmlLite runtime parses XML input.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
