Discussion

Mono System.Math BigInteger Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Mono is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting this issue could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running an affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.
