Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in .NET Framework allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2-4.8.1 via race condition in shared resource synchronization allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash affected applications with high complexity attack requirements. Microsoft has released patches addressing improper concurrent access handling across multiple .NET Framework versions.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from CWE-362 (concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization), a classic race condition flaw in multi-threaded code. .NET Framework's runtime manages shared resources across application domains and CLR threads; when multiple threads access the same resource without adequate locking or synchronization primitives, timing-dependent races can occur. The affected versions span .NET Framework 3.5 (CLR 2.0/3.0) through 4.8.1, indicating the flaw exists in fundamental framework resource-handling logic that persists across major version lines. The high attack complexity (AC:H) suggests the race condition requires precise timing or specific environmental conditions to reliably trigger, rather than a simple one-shot exploit. No integrity or confidentiality impact is possible; only availability is compromised, consistent with denial-of-service outcomes from resource exhaustion or process termination.
RemediationAI
Apply vendor-released patch from Microsoft Security Response Center immediately. For .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2, update to at least 2.0.50727.9068 and 4.7.4141.0; for 3.5 and 4.8, update to 2.0.50727.9068 and 4.8.4801.0; for 3.5 and 4.8.1, update to 2.0.50727.9181 and 4.8.9332.0. Patches are distributed via Windows Update and WSUS for supported Windows editions. Organizations unable to patch immediately should restrict network access to .NET Framework applications using firewall rules or load balancers, isolate legacy .NET Framework 3.5 deployments to internal networks only, and monitor for unusual process crashes or DoS patterns in application logs.
