CVE-2014-0257
Description
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 SP3, 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.5, 3.5.1, 4, 4.5, and 4.5.1 does not properly determine whether it is safe to execute a method, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted web site or (2) a crafted .NET Framework application that exposes a COM server endpoint, aka "Type Traversal Vulnerability."

This module abuses a process creation policy in the Internet Explorer Sandbox which allows
to escape the Enhanced Protected Mode and execute code with Medium Integrity. The problem
exists in the .NET Deployment Service (dfsvc.exe), which can be run as Medium Integrity
Level. Further interaction with the component allows to escape the Enhanced Protected Mode
and execute arbitrary code with Medium Integrity.
