.NET, .NET Framework, and Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

An update of the dotnet package has been released.

The Microsoft .NET Framework installation on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

  - A remote code execution vulnerability in the MSDIA SDK where corrupted PDBs can cause a heap overflow.
   (CVE-2023-24897)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability in WPF where the BAML offers other ways to instantiate types.
    (CVE-2023-21808)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability in the WPF XAML parser (CVE-2023-24895)

The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A remote code execution vulnerability in the MSDIA SDK where corrupted PDBs can cause heap overflow,     leading to a crash or remote code execution. (CVE-2023-24897)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability where specially crafted input to git apply -reject can lead to     controlled content writes at arbitrary locations. (CVE-2023-25652)

  - A spoofing vulnerability where Github localization messages refer to a hard-coded path instead of     respecting the runtime prefix that leads to out-of-bound memory writes and crashes. (CVE-2023-25815)

  - An Out-Of-Bounds Write Vulnerability in Autodesk FBX SDK version 2020 or prior may lead to code     execution through maliciously crafted FBX files or information disclosure. (CVE-2023-27909)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability where a user may be tricked into opening a malicious     FBX file. This may exploit a stack buffer overflow (CVE-2023-27910) or heap buffer overflow     (CVE-2023-27911) vulnerability in Autodesk FBX SDK 2020 or prior which may lead to remote code     execution. 

  - A remote code execution vulnerability where a configuration file containing a logic error results     in arbitrary configuration injection. (CVE-2023-29007)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability where the Git for Windows executable responsible for     implementing a SOCKS5 proxy is susceptible to picking up an untrusted configuration on multi-user     machines. (CVE-2023-29011)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability where the Git for Windows Git CMD program incorrectly     searches for a program upon startup, leading to silent arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2023-29012)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability in the .NET SDK during tool restore which can lead to an     elevation of privilege. (CVE-2023-33135)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability by the obj file parser in Visual Studio. (CVE-2023-33139)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
