CVE-2022-38013GHSA-r8m2-4x37-6592

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-arm64 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-arm64 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.osx-x64 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-arm 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.win-x86 6.0.9, 3.1.29; 7 more packages under Affected packages), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

Advisory: .NET Denial of Service Vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2022-38013, GHSA-r8m2-4x37-6592
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-38013 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 17:04 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-arm64 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-arm64 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.osx-x64 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-arm 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.win-x86 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-x64 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-arm 6.0.9; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.win-arm 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-x64 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.osx-arm64 6.0.9; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.win-x64 6.0.9, 3.1.29; microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.win-arm64 6.0.9, 3.1.29.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-arm64, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-arm64, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.osx-x64, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-arm, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.win-x86, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-x64, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-arm, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.win-arm, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-x64, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.osx-arm64, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.win-x64, microsoft.aspnetcore.app.runtime.win-arm64.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
