Technical details
The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read (CWE-787) in System.Runtime's DateTime Hebrew-number parsing logic that can read outside expected stack bounds and terminate the process. Exploitation requires crafted input to DateTime parsing functions with Hebrew numerals and is network-accessible in applications that accept such input. No authentication is required, and the result is denial of service via process termination.
