Hello, I am concerned about CVE-2024-0057 and would like to know if .NET Core is affected. I have checked the security advisory here and can see that all supported versions of .NET (.NET 6 through .NET 8) are impacted. However, I am specifically interested in older, non-supported versions. Since our release and deployment process makes it difficult to update already deployed systems to the latest .NET version, I want to know if .NET Core is affected too given that it is the predecessor to .NET 5 and later. Or is the vulnerability only introduced in .NET 5/.NET 6? Thank you.

    Without knowing what the actual vulnerable code is it is hard to say. However looking at the link it says that System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.dll <= 6.0.125 are impacted. That would lead me to believe that this impacts all versions prior to v6 as well, so yes you are vulnerable.

    However System.Security.Cryptography.dll is only for v7 to v8 so .NET Core would be fine. If it weren't fine then you'd expect to see v6 of the binary impacted by the vulnerability as well.
