New versions of .NET Core that address security vulnerabilities are now available. The updated versions are .NET Core SDK 3.1.104 and .NET Core Runtime 3.1.4.

Security Fix(es):

* dotnet: Denial of service via untrusted input (CVE-2020-1108)
* dotnet: Denial of service due to infinite loop (CVE-2020-1161)

Default inclusions for applications built with .NET Core have been updated to reference the newest versions and their security fixes.
