Synopsis

The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing security updates. They are, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

- Recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems that support symlinks are susceptible to Remote Code Execution. (CVE-2024-32002)

- Remote Code Execution while cloning special-crafted local repositories. (CVE-2024-32004)

- A Remote Code Execution vulnerability exists in .NET 7.0 and .NET 8.0 where a stack buffer overrun occurs in .NET Double Parse routine. (CVE-2024-30045)

- A Vulnerability exists in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core.dll where a dead-lock can occur resulting in Denial of Service. (CVE-2024-30046)

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

Microsoft has released the following security updates to address this issue:
- Update 15.9.62 for Visual Studio 2017
