          Summary: This security update resolves one privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution on a client system if a user views a specially crafted webpage using a web browser that can run XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs). Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. The vulnerability could also allow remote code execution on a server system running IIS, if that server allows processing ASP.NET pages and an attacker succeeds in uploading a specially crafted ASP.NET page to that server and then executes the page, as could be the case in a web hosting scenario. This vulnerability could also be used by Windows .NET applications to bypass Code Access Security (CAS) restrictions. In a web browsing attack scenario, an attacker could host a website that contains a webpage that is used to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these websites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's website.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>MS12-024 - Critical : Vulnerability in Windows Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2653956) - Version: 1.0</title><link>http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-024</link><dc:date>2012-04-10T07:00:00.0000000Z</dc:date><guid>http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-024</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[

The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker gained access to the network and then created a custom program to send specially crafted LLMNR broadcast queries to the target systems. Firewall best practices and standard default firewall configurations can help protect networks from attacks that originate outside the enterprise perimeter. Best practices recommend that systems that are connected to the Internet have a minimal number of ports exposed. In this case, the LLMNR ports should be blocked from the Internet.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>MS11-025 - Important : Vulnerability in Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2500212) - Version: 4.3</title><link>http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-025</link><dc:date>2012-03-13T07:00:00.0000000Z</dc:date><guid>http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-025</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[
