.NET, .NET Framework, and Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Vendor Advisory NVD

Weakness Type

Buffer Over-read

The software reads from a buffer using buffer access mechanisms such as indexes or pointers that reference memory locations after the targeted buffer. This typically occurs when the pointer or its index is incremented to a position beyond the bounds of the buffer or when pointer arithmetic results in a position outside of the valid memory location to name a few. This may result in exposure of sensitive information or possibly a crash.
