Description Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in .NET 6.0, .NET 7.0 and .NET 8.0. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to address this vulnerability.
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Microsoft .NET Framework-based applications use X.509 chain building APIs but do not completely validate the X.509 certificate due to a logic flaw. An attacker could present an arbitrary untrusted certificate with malformed signatures, triggering a bug in the framework. The framework will correctly report that X.509 chain building failed, but it will return an incorrect reason code for the failure. Applications which utilize this reason code to make their own chain building trust decisions may inadvertently treat this scenario as a successful chain build. This could allow an adversary to subvert the app's typical authentication logic.

ASP.NET Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
.NET Framework Information Disclosure Vulnerability
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors involving "ASP.NET controls that set the AutoPostBack property to true".
Microsoft ASP .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42 does not properly handle comment (/ /) enclosures, which allows remote attackers to bypass request filtering and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, or cause a denial of service, as demonstrated via an xss:expression STYLE attribute in a closing XSS HTML tag.
Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 (ASP.NET) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 up to SP1 allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions via unspecified "URL paths" that can access Application Folder objects "explicitly by name."
The PE Loader service in Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 for Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving an "unchecked buffer" and unvalidated message lengths, probably a buffer overflow.
Interpretation conflict in ASP.NET in Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 for Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista allows remote attackers to access configuration files and obtain sensitive information, and possibly bypass security mechanisms that try to constrain the final substring of a string, via %00 characters, related to use of %00 as a string terminator within POSIX functions but a data character within .NET strings, aka "Null Byte Termination Vulnerability."
The Just In Time (JIT) Compiler service in Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 for Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving an "unchecked buffer," probably a buffer overflow, aka ".NET JIT Compiler Vulnerability".
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 SP3, 1.1 SP1, and 2.0 SP1 does not properly validate .NET verifiable code, which allows remote attackers to obtain unintended access to stack memory, and execute arbitrary code, via (1) a crafted XAML browser application (XBAP), (2) a crafted ASP.NET application, or (3) a crafted .NET Framework application, aka "Microsoft .NET Framework Pointer Verification Vulnerability."
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, 2.0 SP1, and 3.5 does not properly enforce a certain type-equality constraint in .NET verifiable code, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted XAML browser application (XBAP), (2) a crafted ASP.NET application, or (3) a crafted .NET Framework application, aka "Microsoft .NET Framework Type Verification Vulnerability."
