  - .NET Core and Visual Studio Denial of Service Vulnerability (CVE-2023-36799)

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

The version of Microsoft .NET Core SDK installed on the remote host is 6.0.x prior to 6.0.122, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.317, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.414, 7.0.x prior to 7.0.111 or 7.0.x prior to 7.0.308 or 7.0.x prior to 7.0.401.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

  - A vulnerability exists in Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native.amd64.dll when reading a corrupted PDB file which   may lead to remote code execution. This issue only affects Windows systems. (CVE-2023-36792)   
  - A vulnerability exists in Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native.amd64.dll when reading a corrupted PDB file which   may lead to remote code execution. This issue only affects Windows systems. (CVE-2023-36793)

  - A vulnerability exists in Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native.amd64.dll when reading a corrupted PDB file which   may lead to remote code execution. This issue only affects Windows systems. (CVE-2023-36794)

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

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

  - Multiple vulnerabilities in DiaSymReader.dll where parsing an corrupted PDB can result in remote code     execution. (CVE-2023-36792, CVE-2023-36793, CVE-2023-36794 CVE-2023-36796)

  - A vulnerability in the WPF XML parser where an unsandboxed parser can lead to remote code execution.
    (CVE-2023-36788)

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

  - A vulnerability in VSInstallerElevationService when running a malicious executable, which     can lead to an Elevation of Privilege. (CVE-2023-36758)

  - A vulnerability in pgodriver.sys where reading a malicious file can lead to an Elevation of     Privilege. (CVE-2023-36759)

  - A vulnerability in DiaSymReader.dll when reading a corrupted PDB file can lead to a Remote     Code Execution. (CVE-2023-36792, CVE-2023-36793, CVE-2023-36794, CVE-2023-36796) 

  - A vulnerability in .NET where reading a maliciously crafted X.509 certificate may result in     a Denial of Service. This issue only affects Linux systems. (CVE-2023-36799) 

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

The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2023_Sep_12 advisory.
