Security Alert, March 29, 2006

.NET Framework Could Allow Execution of Arbitrary Commands Two buffer-overflow vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft .NET Framework that could allow intruders to execute arbitrary commands. One problem occurs when a program handles malformed DLL files. The other problem occurs when a program calls a function with an excessively long function name. Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 isn't vulnerable to these attacks, so users should upgrade to this version.
