Published: February 9, 2016
Version: 1.0
Executive Summary
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft .NET Framework. The more severe of the vulnerabilities could cause denial of service if an attacker inserts specially crafted XSLT into a client-side XML web part, causing the server to recursively compile XSLT transforms.
This security update is rated Important for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6, and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 on affected releases of Microsoft Windows. For more information, see the Affected Software section.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how Microsoft WinForms validates decoder results and by correcting how.NET Framework handles extensible stylesheet language transformations (XSLT). For more information about the vulnerability, see the Vulnerability Information section.
For more information about this update, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 3137893.

Vulnerability Information
.NET Framework Stack Overflow Denial of Service Vulnerability - CVE-2016-0033
A denial of service vulnerability exists when .NET Framework fails to properly handle certain Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT). An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause server performance to degrade significantly enough to cause a denial of service condition.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could insert specially crafted XSLT into a client-side XML web part, causing the server to recursively compile XSLT transforms. This could cause a denial of service attack and disrupted server availability. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how .NET Framework handles XSLT.
