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

  - A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted requests     to a .NET vulnerable webapp or loading a specially crafted file into a vulnerable application. (CVE-2024-43498)   
  - The NrbfDecoder component in .NET 9 contains a denial of service vulnerability due to     incorrect input validation. (CVE-2024-43499)

  - Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability in Visual Studio C++ Redistributable Installer (CVE-2024-43590)

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

The remote Ubuntu 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7105-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the NrbfDecoder component in .NET did not properly handle an instance of a type     confusion vulnerability. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to gain the privileges of     another user and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-43498)

    It was discovered that the NrbfDecoder component in .NET did not properly perform input validation. An     unauthenticated remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
