CVE-2010-4254

Publication date 6 December 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

Mono, when Moonlight before 2.3.0.1 or 2.99.x before 2.99.0.10 is used, does not properly validate arguments to generic methods, which allows remote attackers to bypass generic constraints, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via a crafted method call.
