If you have a runtime or SDK with a version listed, or an affected package listed in affected software or affected packages, you're exposed to the vulnerability. <a name="how-fix"></a>How do I fix the issue? To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET 9.0 and .NET 8.0. If you have installed one or more .NET SDKs through Visual Studio, Visual Studio will prompt you to update Visual Studio, which will also update your .NET SDKs. If your application references the vulnerable package, update the package reference to the patched version. You can list the versions you have installed by running the dotnet --info command. You will see output like the following; If you're using .NET 8.0, you should download and install .NET 8.0.21 Runtime or .NET 8.0.318 SDK (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.10 latest update) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/8.0. If you're using .NET 9.0, you should download and install .NET 9.0.10 Runtime or .NET 9.0.111 SDK (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.12 latest update) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/9.0. If you're using .NET 10.0, you should download and install .NET 10.0.0-rc.2.25476.107 Runtime or .NET 10.0.100-rc.2.25476.107 SDK (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.12 latest update) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/10.0. If you're using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core nuget package, update to the latest version 2.3.6 using either of the following methods: Using the NuGet Package Manager UI in Visual Studio: Open your project in Visual Studio. Right-click on your project in Solution Explorer and select "Manage NuGet Packages..." or navigate to "Project > Manage NuGet Packages". In the NuGet Package Manager window, select the "Updates" tab. This tab lists packages with available updates from your configured package sources. Select the package(s) you wish to update. You can choose a specific version from the dropdown or update to the latest available version. Click the "Update" button. Using the NuGet Package Manager Console in Visual Studio: Open your project in Visual Studio. Navigate to "Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console". To update a specific package to its latest version, use the Update-Package command: Code: Update-Package -Id Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core Using the .NET CLI (Command Line Interface): Open a terminal or command prompt in your project's directory. To update a specific package to its latest version: Code: dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core Once you have installed the updated runtime or SDK, restart your apps for the update to take effect. Additionally, if you've deployed self-contained applications targeting any of the impacted versions, these applications are also vulnerable and must be recompiled and redeployed.
