If you have a runtime or SDK with a version listed, or an affected package listed in [affected software](#affected-packages) or [affected packages](#affected-software), you're exposed to the vulnerability. ### <a name="how-fix"></a>How do I fix the issue? 1. To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET 9.0. 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. 2. 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; ``` .NET SDK: Version: 9.0.100 Commit: 59db016f11 Workload version: 9.0.100-manifests.3068a692 MSBuild version: 17.12.7+5b8665660 Runtime Environment: OS Name: Mac OS X OS Version: 15.2 OS Platform: Darwin RID: osx-arm64 Base Path: /usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/9.0.100/ .NET workloads installed: There are no installed workloads to display. Configured to use loose manifests when installing new manifests. Host: Version: 9.0.0 Architecture: arm64 Commit: 9d5a6a9aa4 .NET SDKs installed: 9.0.100 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk] .NET runtimes installed: Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 9.0.0 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App] Microsoft.NETCore.App 9.0.0 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App] Other architectures found: x64 [/usr/local/share/dotnet] registered at [/etc/dotnet/install_location_x64] Environment variables: Not set global.json file: Not found Learn more: https://aka.ms/dotnet/info Download .NET: https://aka.ms/dotnet/download ``` * If you're using .NET 9.0, you should download and install .NET 9.0 Runtime or .NET 9.0.100 SDK (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.12 latest Preview) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/9.0. 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](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/deploying/#self-contained-deployments-scd) targeting any of the impacted versions, these applications are also vulnerable and must be recompiled and redeployed. ## Other Information ### Reporting Security Issues If you have found a potential security issue in .NET 9.0 please email details to secure@microsoft.com. Reports may qualify for the Microsoft .NET Core & .NET 5 Bounty. Details of the Microsoft .NET Bounty Program including terms and conditions are at <https://aka.ms/corebounty>. ### Support You can ask questions about this issue on GitHub in the .NET GitHub organization. The main repos are located at https://github.com/dotnet/runtime. The Announcements repo (https://github.com/dotnet/Announcements) will contain this bulletin as an issue and will include a link to a discussion issue. You can ask questions in the linked discussion issue. ### Disclaimer The information provided in this advisory is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.
