Summary
Microsoft .NET 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 11.0 installed on Linux, Mac OS and Windows, and their runtimes, are affected in versions before the fixed builds. An out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) in .NET lets an unauthorized attacker on the network execute code. Microsoft rates exploitation as less likely and reports no public disclosure or exploitation.
