Stack-based buffer overflow in .NET Framework allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Microsoft .NET (versions 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0) and .NET Framework (3.5 through 4.8.1) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to crash affected applications by triggering a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) over the network. The flaw impacts availability only - there is no confidentiality or integrity loss and no code execution per the CVSS vector (A:H, C:N, I:N). Microsoft has published an advisory with fixes; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the managed runtime and class libraries shared across Microsoft's .NET platform (the modern cross-platform .NET 8/9/10 runtimes) and the legacy Windows-only .NET Framework (3.5, 4.6.2-4.8.1), and is also redistributed inside Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (17.12/17.14) and Visual Studio 2026 (18.7). CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow) indicates that attacker-controlled input reaches a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking, corrupting the stack and causing an abnormal termination. Because .NET underpins web services (ASP.NET), desktop apps, and background services, any component that parses untrusted network input using the vulnerable code path can be forced to fault. The CPE set confirms the affected products are the Microsoft .NET runtimes/frameworks themselves rather than a single downstream application.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the latest Microsoft security updates for the affected .NET runtime and .NET Framework versions as published at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50527, and update Visual Studio 2022 (17.12/17.14) and Visual Studio 2026 (18.7) to the servicing releases that bundle the fixed components. Exact fixed build numbers are not enumerated in the provided data - consult the MSRC update guide entry for the specific patch level matching your installed version. Where immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the affected .NET services (place them behind a WAF/reverse proxy or firewall to filter malformed requests), and validate or rate-limit untrusted input at the perimeter; note that a proxy may not fully block the malformed input if it forwards the triggering payload, and access restrictions can break legitimate remote clients.
