Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.10 / 26.04 LTS : .NET vulnerability (USN-8298-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 316733

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.10 / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8298-1 advisory.

 Muhammad Abdul Rehman discovered that .NET incorrectly handled certain network requests, leading to a loop with an unreachable exit condition. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to consume excessive resources, resulting in a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
