Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mono and Mono debugger.
Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.


Impact

A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code, bypass general
constraints, obtain the source code for .aspx applications, obtain other
sensitive information, cause a Denial of Service, modify internal data
structures, or corrupt the internal state of the security manager.
A local attacker could entice a user into running Mono debugger in a
directory containing a specially crafted library file to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Mono debugger.
A context-dependant attacker could bypass the authentication mechanism
provided by the XML Signature specification.


Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Mono debugger users should upgrade to the latest version:
