Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by a Microsoft .NET Core SDK vulnerability.

Description

The version of .NET Core SDK installed on the remote host is 9.x prior to 9.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerability as referenced in the October 2024 advisory:

- .NET Remote Code Execution (CVE-2024-43498)

- .NET Denial of Service Vulnerability (CVE-2024-43499)
