Microsoft Security Advisory CVE-2018-8292: .NET Core Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Executive summary

Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in .NET Core. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability.

Microsoft is aware of a security feature bypass vulnerability that exists when .NET Core when HTTP authentication information is inadvertently exposed in an outbound request that encounters an HTTP redirect. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could use the information to further compromise the web application.

The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how .NET Core applications handles HTTP redirects.

System administrators running .NET Core 1.0 or .NET Core 1.1 applications must update their .NET Core runtimes to versions 1.0.13 and 1.1.10 then restart their applications. If installed applications target .NET Core 2.0, the applications must be migrated to 2.1 or newer and redeployed.

Developers must update their .NET Core SDK to versions 1.1.11 and migrate any .NET Core 2.0 or ASP.NET Core 2.0 applications to 2.1 then redeploy.

Mitigation factors

None

Affected software

Any .NET Core application that runs on a .NET Core 1.0.x runtime with a version number of 1.0.12 or lower, or a .NET Core application that runs on a .NET Core 1.1.x runtime with a version number of 1.1.9 or lower, or a .NET Core application that runs on a .NET Core 2.0.x runtime.

Additionally package authors should check their dependencies to ensure they aren't depending on a vulnerable version of the following package:

Package name Vulnerable versions Secure versions
System.Net.Http 2.0.20126.16343, 2.0.20505, 2.0.20710, 4.0.0, 4.1.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.3.0, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.3 4.3.4 or later

Advisory FAQ

How do I know if I am affected?

Any .NET Core application that runs on a .NET Core 1.0.x runtime with a version number of 1.0.12 or lower, or a .NET Core application that runs on a .NET Core 1.1.x runtime with a version number of 1.1.9 or lower, or a .NET Core application that runs on a .NET Core 2.0.x runtime.

To check the currently installed runtimes and SDKs with version 2.1 or later of .NET Core, open a command prompt and run the dotnet --info command. You should see an output similar to the following:

.NET Core SDK (reflecting any global.json):
 Version:   2.1.403
 Commit:    04e15494b6

Runtime Environment:
 OS Name:     Windows
 OS Version:  10.0.17763
 OS Platform: Windows
 RID:         win10-x64
 Base Path:   C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.403\

Host (useful for support):
  Version: 2.1.5
  Commit:  290303f510

.NET Core SDKs installed:
  1.0.4 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
  1.1.10 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
  2.0.3 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
  2.1.4 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

.NET Core runtimes installed:
  Microsoft.AspNetCore.All 2.1.4 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.All]
  Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 2.1.4 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
  Microsoft.NETCore.App 1.0.12 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
  Microsoft.NETCore.App 1.1.9 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
  Microsoft.NETCore.App 2.0.9 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
  Microsoft.NETCore.App 2.1.5 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]

To install additional .NET Core runtimes or SDKs:
  https://aka.ms/dotnet-download

If you don't see a runtime entry for 1.0.13 or 1.1.10, any .NET Core 1.x applications run on that computer are vulnerable.

If you don't have a 2.1 version of the runtime or SDK installed, you can produce the complete list of runtimes by performing a directory listing in the install root directories. The default root directories are listed in the following table:

Operating System Location
Windows C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App\
macOS /usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/
Supported Linux platforms /usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/

Each runtime version is installed in its own directory, where the directory name is the version number. If you don't have a directory for 1.0.13, 1.1.10 then any application targeting versions 1.0 or 1.1 are vulnerable.

Additionally, if you've deployed self-contained applications targeting any of the impacted versions, these applications are also vulnerable and must be recompiled and redeployed.

How do I fix the vulnerability?

System administrators are advised to update their .NET Core runtimes to versions 1.0.13, 1.1.10 and install the latest 2.1 runtime, ensuring that any 2.0 applications are migrated to 2.1 as soon as possible.

Developers are advised to update their .NET Core SDK to versions 1.1.11 and migrate any .NET Core or ASP.NET Core 2.0 applications to 2.1 and redeploy.

Sebazzz commented 6 years ago

System.Net.Http is also available for full .NET framework. Is that version also affected?

omajid commented 6 years ago

If I do dotnet new web using a .NET Core 2.1.403 SDK targetting netcoreapp2.1, it produces a obj/project.assets.json that contains references to System.Net.Http/4.3.0. The table above says versions less than 4.3.4 are vulnerable. Is my version of System.Net.Http vulnerable? Apologies if this is a stupid question.

rmkerr commented 6 years ago

@Sebazzz we use a different HTTP stack on .NET Framework. The issue is not present there.

rmkerr commented 6 years ago

@omajid Not a stupid question :)

4.3.0 predates the fix, and is vulnerable.

omajid commented 6 years ago

@rmkerr Thanks. What do I need to do to resolve this issue in Runtime 2.1.5/SDK 2.1.403? Do I explicitly need to specify a version of System.Net.Http? The main post above says 2.1 is not vulnerable :confused:

leecow commented 6 years ago

@omajid - the word I have from Nate and Wes is that this is a 'false positive'. The presence of System.Net.Http in the package graph of netcoreapp2.0 isn't the final determination of what is loaded at runtime. The version conflict resolution logic will prefer what is present in Microsoft.NETCore.App/2.1.5 (or latest patch release).

Thanks, @leecow.
