Summary
Microsoft .NET runtimes 8.0 from 8.0.0 before 8.0.32, 9.0 from 9.0.0 before 9.0.21, 10.0 from 10.0.0 before 10.0.13 and 11.0 from 11.0.0 before 11.0.0-rc.2 are affected, as are Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14 before 17.14.42 and Visual Studio 2026 version 18.10 before 18.10.4. An out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) lets code read memory past the end of a buffer and disclose information. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger this over a network without user interaction.
