Vulnerabilities in .NET Framework Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (3086251)

Published: August 11, 2015 | Updated: September 25, 2015

Version: 1.2

Executive Summary

This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft .NET Framework. The vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if a user runs a specially crafted .NET application. However, in all cases, an attacker would have no way to force users to run the application; an attacker would have to convince users to do so.

This security update is rated Important for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 on all supported releases of Microsoft Windows except Itanium editions. For more information, see the Affected Software section.

The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting RyuJIT compiler optimization for .NET Framework. For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the Vulnerability Information section.

For more information about this update, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 3086251.

Update FAQ

How do I determine which version of Microsoft .NET Framework is installed?
You can install and run multiple versions of .NET Framework on a system, and you can install the versions in any order. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 318785.

Severity Ratings and Vulnerability Identifiers

The following severity ratings assume the potential maximum impact of the vulnerability. For information regarding the likelihood, within 30 days of this security bulletin's release, of the exploitability of the vulnerability in relation to its severity rating and security impact, please see the Exploitability Index in the August bulletin summary.

Vulnerability Information

Multiple RyuJIT Optimization Elevation of Privilege Vulnerabilities

Elevation of privilege vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft .NET Framework when the RyuJIT compiler improperly optimizes certain parameters resulting in a code generation error. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would need to host a specially crafted .NET application and convince users to run the application. However, in all cases, an attacker would have no way to force users to run the application; an attacker would have to convince users to do so. The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting RyuJIT compiler optimization for .NET Framework.

The following tables contain links to the standard entry for each vulnerability in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list:

Vulnerability Title	CVE Number	Publicly Disclosed	Exploited
RyuJIT Optimization Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability	CVE-2015-2479	No	No
RyuJIT Optimization Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability	CVE-2015-2480	No	No
RyuJIT Optimization Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability	CVE-2015-2481	No	No

Mitigating Factors

Microsoft has not identified any mitigating factors for these vulnerabilities.

Workarounds

The following workarounds might be helpful in your situation:

Disable RyuJIT

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
1. Create a text file named RyuJIT-disable.reg that contains the following text:
```
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00  
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework]  
"useLegacyJit"=dword:00000001
```
2. Run regedit.exe.
3. In Registry Editor, click File and then click Import.
4. Navigate to and select the RyuJIT-disable.reg file that you created in the first step.
  (Note: If your file is not listed where you expect it to be, ensure that it has not been automatically given a .txt file extension, or change the dialog’s file extension parameters to All Files).
5. Click Open and then click OK.
6. Close Registry Editor and restart the system.

Impact of workaround. The legacy JIT compiler will be invoked in lieu of the RyuJIT compiler.

How to undo the workaround.

Create a text file named RyuJIT-enable.reg that contains the following text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00  
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework]  
"useLegacyJit"=dword:00000000

Run regedit.exe.
In Registry Editor, click File and then click Import.
Navigate to and select the RyuJIT-enable.reg file that you created in the first step.
(Note: If your file is not listed where you expect it to be, ensure that it has not been automatically given a .txt file extension, or change the dialog’s file extension parameters to All Files).
Click Open and then click OK.
Close Registry Editor and restart the system.
