The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing a security update. They are, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected component to deny system or application services. (CVE-2021-26423)

  • An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2021-34485, CVE-2021-34532)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
