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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1325: Improperly Controlled Sequential Memory Allocation, where the product manages a group of objects or resources and performs a separate memory allocation for each object, but it does not properly limit the total amount of memory that is consumed by all of the combined objects. In Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Protocols.MessagePack, 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

## Executive summary Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Protocols.MessagePack; MessagePack; MessagePack.Annotations; MessagePackAnalyzer. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability. SignalR's MessagePack protocol can consume excessive memory while deserializing deeply nested attacker-controlled arrays, resulting in unauthenticated remote denial of service. ## Announcement Announcement for this issue can be found at https://github.com/dotnet/announcements/issues/473 ## CVSS Details - **Version:** 3.1 - **Severity:** Moderate - **Score:** 5.3 - **Vector:** `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L` - **Weakness:** CWE-1325 (Improperly Controlled Sequential Memory Allocation) ## Affected Platforms - **Platforms:** Windows, Linux, macOS - **Architectures:** All ## <a name="affected-packages"></a>Affected Packages The vulnerability affects Microsoft .NET projects that use an affected package version listed below.
