REDHAT-BUG-694933

First published: Fri Apr 08 2011(Updated: )

It was reported [1] that threads in Mono were not properly cleaned up upon finalization, so if one thread was resurrected, it would be possible to see the pointer to freed memory. This could lead to unintended information disclosure, and possibly a crash. This has been corrected upstream [2].
