DESCRIPTION:
Will Dormann has reported some vulnerabilities in Microsoft Whale

"CheckForUpdates()" and "UpdateComponents()" methods within
"WhlMgr.dll", which can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer
overflows.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 3.7.

Application Gateway 3.7 SP2.
