The version of Microsoft .NET 7 Core installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2023_Oct_10 advisory.

  • A vulnerability exists in the ASP.NET Core Kestrel web server where a malicious client may flood the server with specially crafted HTTP/2 requests, causing denial of service. (CVE-2023-44487)

  • A null pointer vulnerability exists in MsQuic.dll which may lead to Denial of Service. This issue only affects Windows systems. (CVE-2023-38171)

  • A memory leak vulnerability exists in MsQuic.dll which may lead to Denial of Service. This issue only affects Windows systems. (CVE-2023-36435)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
