.NET Framework January 2022 Security and Quality Rollup Updates

Tara Overfield

Yesterday, we are released the January 2022 Security and Quality Rollup Updates for .NET Framework.

Security

CVE-2022-21911 – .NET Framework Denial of Service

This security update addresses an issue where an unauthenticated attacker could cause a denial of service on an affected system.

Quality and Reliability

This release contains the following quality and reliability improvements.

SQL Connectivity
  • nder certain error cases caused due to NullReferenceException thrown while populating SqlParameter values using customer provided delegates, the SqlClient driver may not cleanup the state of connection state. The connection in bad state, can make its way into the connection pool and may be picked up for reuse causing unexpected failures on the connection. If such a condition is recognized, an AppContext Switch “Switch.System.Data.SqlClient.CleanupParserOnAllFailures”, may be enabled to clean up connections on any kind of failures even while running into errors with delegates.
WCF1
  • Addresses a failure to correctly timeout a failed request when making an asynchronous WCF call over HTTP. If the service has sent a partial response message and fails to send the remainder of the response, the client may not fail the call after the configured timeout.
WPF2
  • Addresses an issue where WPF does not respond to touch if the WPF window was activated by a touch manipulation (e.g. swiping a listbox).
  • Adds a mitigation for an issue involving tearing, flickering, or incorrect composition of visual content under high GPU-load conditions.
  • Addresses an issue where the extra information associated with a WM_KEYDOWN message is discarded before the handlers for the PreviewKeyDown or KeyDown events can retrieve it via GetMessageExtraInfo.
  • Addresses an issue where AutomationElement.FindFirst or FindAll do not search the subtree of an hwnd whose UIA_WindowVisibilityOverridden property is set to 1.
  • Addresses an issue where a binding on TextBox.Text with UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged produces incorrect results when the Microsoft Quick IME is used.

    .NET 3.5 updates for Windows 8.1 (both rollup 5008868 and security only 5008891) are malformed, they are not applicable or installable

    not that i fully understand the internal structure of components servicing, but comparing with other updates, it seems those two are built as dual branch GDR/LDR, but they only include one branch

    updateComponent elevate=”revision”

    the issue only affect those two updates, all other .NET updates for Windows 8.1 – 7 are good

    Typo in the “SQL Connectivity” section – you’re missing the “U” from “nder certain …”.

    Did Microsoft.Data.SqlClient have the same NullReferenceException bug as System.Data.SqlClient?
