Synopsis

The Microsoft .NET Framework installation on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

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

- A denial of service vulnerability exists when .NET Core or .NET Framework improperly handles web requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a denial of service against a .NET Core or .NET Framework web application. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without authentication. A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by issuing specially crafted requests to the .NET Core or .NET Framework application. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the .NET Core or .NET Framework web application handles web requests. (CVE-2020-1108)

- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in .NET Framework which could allow an attacker to elevate their privilege level. (CVE-2020-1066)

Solution

Microsoft has released security updates for Microsoft .NET Framework.
