The version of Microsoft .NET Core SDK installed on the remote host is 6.0.x prior to 6.0.123, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.318, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.414, 7.0.x prior to 7.0.112 or 7.0.x prior to 7.0.309 or 7.0.x prior to 7.0.402.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:
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 this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
