Executive summary Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in System.Net.WebSockets. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability. An unchecked input for loop condition in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network. Announcement Announcement for this issue can be found at https://github.com/dotnet/announcements/issues/428 CVSS Details • Version: 3.1 • Severity: High • Score: 7.5 • Vector: `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C` • Weakness: CWE-606: Unchecked Input for Loop Condition Affected Platforms • Platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS • Architectures: All Affected Packages The vulnerability affects any Microsoft .NET project if it uses any of affected package versions listed below .NET 10 Package name | Affected version | Patched version ------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------- Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64 | >= 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, = 10.0.0, .NET 9 Package name | Affected version | Patched version ------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------- Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64 | >= 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, = 9.0.0, .NET 8 Package name | Affected version | Patched version ------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------- Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64 | >= 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, = 8.0.0, How do I know if I am affected? If using a package listed in affected packages, applications are exposed to the vulnerability. How do I fix the issue? 1. To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET. If users have installed one or more .NET SDKs through Visual Studio, Visual Studio will prompt them to update Visual Studio, which will also update their .NET SDKs. 2. If a user's application references the vulnerable package, update the package reference to the patched version. Users can list the versions they have installed by running the `dotnet --info` command. Once users have installed the updated runtime or SDK, they should restart their apps for the update to take effect. Additionally, if they've deployed self-contained applications targeting any of the impacted versions, these applications are also vulnerable and must be recompiled and redeployed. Other Information Reporting Security Issues If users have found a potential security issue in a supported version of .NET, please report it to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) via the MSRC Researcher Portal. Further information can be found in the MSRC Report an Issue FAQ. Security reports made through MSRC may qualify for the Microsoft .NET Bounty.
