Advisory FAQ

How do I know if I am affected?

Review Windows applications that use Kestrel's Named Pipes transport and identify their deployed ASP.NET Core versions. Compare deployed versions with the affected intervals above. Self-contained applications include their own framework; updating a machine-wide installation does not replace their embedded copies.

How do I fix the issue?

Install the applicable ASP.NET Core runtime update and restart applications. Rebuild and redeploy affected self-contained applications with fixed runtime packs. An SDK update alone does not replace runtime or framework files already embedded in deployed applications. Use the patched version listed for the affected servicing line.
