The Microsoft .NET Core runtime installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  • A security feature bypass in X509 Certificate Validation allows an attacker to present a certificate that is marked as invalid for a specific use, but a component uses it for that purpose. (CVE-2018-0786)

  • A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper processing of XML documents. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a denial of service against a .NET application. A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by issuing specially crafted requests to a .NET Core application. (CVE-2018-0764)
