How do I fix the issue?
- To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET 6.0. If you have installed one or more .NET SDKs through Visual Studio, Visual Studio will prompt you to update Visual Studio, which will also update your .NET SDKs.
- If you have .NET Core 3.1 or greater installed, you can list the versions you have installed by running the
dotnet --infocommand. You will see output like the following; - If you are using one of the affected packages, please update to the patched version listed above.
``` .NET Core SDK (reflecting any global.json):
Version: 6.0.300 Commit: 8473146e7d
Runtime Environment:
OS Name: Windows OS Version: 10.0.18363 OS Platform: Windows RID: win10-x64 Base Path: C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.300\
Host (useful for support):
Version: 6.0.5 Commit: 8473146e7d
.NET Core SDKs installed:
6.0.300 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
.NET Core runtimes installed:
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 6.0.5 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App] Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.5 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App] Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 6.0.5 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App]
To install additional .NET Core runtimes or SDKs: https://aka.ms/dotnet-download ```
- If you're using .NET 6.0, you should download and install Runtime 6.0.13 or SDK 6.0.113 (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.1) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/6.0.
.NET 6.0 and and .NET 7.0 updates are also available from Microsoft Update. To access this either type "Check for updates" in your Windows search, or open Settings, choose Update & Security and then click Check for Updates.
Once you have installed the updated runtime or SDK, restart your apps for the update to take effect.
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.
