An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit this vulnerability and if a user clicks on the link, the attacker’s website could potentially load content from the .NET Framework that is not properly protected. An attacker could also trick a user into visiting a website that is hosting a specially crafted .NET Framework application and if a user does, his system could potentially be exploited.”
Microsoft .NET Framework Denial of Service Vulnerability
This vulnerability affects Microsoft's .NET Framework, the software that is used to run web applications and enterprise applications.
