DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in Windows Azure SDK, which can be
exploited by malicious users to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

The weakness is caused due to an error in the applications that have
a "Web Role" deployed. This can be exploited to disclose certain
state information from encrypted session cookies.

Successful exploitation requires an application to be developed with
ASP.NET and using the "Full IIS" feature.

The weakness is reported in versions prior to 1.3.20121.1237.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.3.20121.1237 (please see the vendor's advisory
for details).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
