DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft .NET 
Framework,
which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS 
(Denial of
Service) and compromise a user's system.

1) An error when allocating certain buffers can be exploited 
via a
specially crafted XAML Browser Application (XBAP) or an 
untrusted
.NET application.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows execution 
of
arbitrary code.

2) An error when comparing the value of an index within a WPF
application can be exploited to cause an application to stop
responding via specially crafted requests.

3) An error exists when parsing TrueType fonts.
