CVE-2016-0034

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Silverlight versions prior to 5.1.41212.0

Description The issue is related to the mishandling of negative offsets during decoding, which can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted web site. This is due to errors in processing reverse offsets during the decoding procedure.
