How to Fix CVE-2024-28252

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected CoreWCF.NetFramingBase dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

CoreWCF.NetFramingBase fixed: 1.4.2 
Upgrade CoreWCF.NetFramingBase to 1.4.2
CoreWCF.NetFramingBase fixed: 1.5.2 
Upgrade CoreWCF.NetFramingBase to 1.5.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for CoreWCF.NetFramingBase

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-28252, inspect your project dependencies for CoreWCF.NetFramingBase:

inspect dependencies for CoreWCF.NetFramingBase

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of CoreWCF.NetFramingBase in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.4.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release, where the product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. In CoreWCF.NetFramingBase, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact If you have a NetFraming based CoreWCF service, extra system resources could be consumed by connections being left established instead of closing or aborting them. There are two scenarios when this can happen. When a client established a connection to the service and sends no data, the service will wait indefinitely for the client to initiate the NetFraming session handshake. Additionally, once a client has established a session, if the client doesn't send any requests for the period of time configured in the binding ReceiveTimeout, the connection is not properly closed as part of the session being aborted. The bindings affected by this behavior are NetTcpBinding, NetNamedPipeBinding, and UnixDomainSocketBinding. Only NetTcpBinding has the ability to accept non local connections. ### Patches The currently supported versions of CoreWCF are v1.4.x and v1.5.x. The fix can be found in v1.4.2 and v1.5.2 of the CoreWCF packages. ### Workarounds There are no workarounds. ### References https://github.com/CoreWCF/CoreWCF/issues/1345
