Root
Cause
CVE-2019-0980 is a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in .NET Framework and .NET Core that arises when the software improperly handles certain web requests. This improper handling occurs in the System.Private.Uri package, specifically versions 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 [3]. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, making it accessible over the network [3].
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to a vulnerable .NET Core or ASP.NET Core application. No prior authentication is required, and no user interaction is needed [3]. The attack surface is broad, as the flaw affects applications using the System.Private.Uri package across .NET Core 1.0, 1.1, 2.1, and 2.2, as well as corresponding ASP.NET Core versions [3].
Impact
Successful exploitation results in a denial of service condition, causing the targeted application to become unresponsive or crash. This can disrupt services and availability for legitimate users. The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS base score of 7.5 (High) according to NVD metrics [2], and Microsoft has noted no mitigating factors [3].
Mitigation
Microsoft has released an updated version of the System.Private.Uri package (4.3.2) that corrects the request handling flaw [3]. Patches are delivered through updated .NET Core runtimes and SDKs. Developers are advised to install the latest .NET Core runtime or SDK for their supported version. Affected software includes .NET Core 1.0, 1.1, 2.1, and 2.2, and corresponding ASP.NET Core applications [3].
