.NET Core Lifecycle News
.NET Core 2.2 reached end of life on December 23, 2019. This means .NET Core 2.2 is no longer supported and updates will no longer be provided. We recommend moving to .NET Core 3.1, our long term support (LTS) release.
.NET Core 3.0 will reach end of life on March 3, 2020 which is 3 months after the release of .NET Core 3.1. You can view the Microsoft Support for .NET Core for more information about life-cycle of each product.
Fedora 29 has been out of support since November 29, 2019 and .NET Core no longer provides support for it.
Ubuntu 19.04 will be out of support on January 23, 2020.
See .NET Core Supported OS Lifecycle Policy to learn about Windows, macOS and Linux versions that are supported for each .NET Core release.
Changes in 2.1.15
.NET Core 2.1.15 release carries both security and non-security fixes.
CVE-2020-0602: ASP.NET Core Denial of Service Vulnerability
Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in ASP.NET Core. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability.
Microsoft is aware of a denial of service vulnerability exists when ASP.NET Core improperly handles web requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a denial of service against an ASP.NET Core web application. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without authentication.
A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by issuing specially crafted requests to the ASP.NET Core application.
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the ASP.NET Core web application handles web requests.
Affected Package and Binary updates
| Package name | Vulnerable versions | Secure versions |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Connections | 1.0.0 - 1.0.4 | 1.0.15 |
| Microsoft.AspNetCore.App | 2.1.0 - 2.1.14 3.0.0 3.1.0 |
2.1.15 3.0.1 3.1.1 |
| Microsoft.AspNetCore.All | 2.1.0 - 2.1.14 | 2.0.15 |
CVE-2020-0603: ASP.NET Core Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in ASP.NET Core. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability.
Microsoft is aware of a remote code execution vulnerability exists in ASP.NET Core software when the software fails to handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a denial of service against an ASP.NET Core web application. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without authentication.
A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by issuing specially crafted requests to the ASP.NET Core application.
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the ASP.NET Core web application handles in memory.
