Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple .NET Core SDK vulnerabilities.

Description

The Microsoft .NET Core SDK installation on the remote host is version 2.1.x < 2.1.509, or 2.1.606 or 2.1.802, 2.2.x < 2.2.109 or 2.2.206 or 2.2.302.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A denial of service vulnerability when .Net Core improperly handles web requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this issue, to cause a denial of service attack against a .Net Core web application. (CVE-2019-1301)

- An elevation of privilege vulnerability that could lead to a content injection attack enabling an attacker to run a script in the context of the logged-on user. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this issue, via a link that has a specially crafted URL, and convince the user to click the link. (CVE-2019-1302)

Solution

Refer to vendor documentation.
