Today, we are releasing the July 2020 Security and Quality Rollup Updates for .NET Framework.

Security

CVE-2020-1147– .NET Framework Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in .NET Framework, Microsoft SharePoint, and Visual Studio when the software fails to check the source markup of XML file input. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the process responsible for deserialization of the XML content.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker could upload a specially crafted document to a server utilizing an affected product to process content.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how .NET Framework, Microsoft SharePoint, and Visual Studio validates the source markup of XML content.

Additional Information

This security update affects how .NET Framework’s System.Data.DataTable and System.Data.DataSet types read XML-serialized data. Most .NET Framework applications will not experience any behavioral change after the update is installed. For more information on how the update affects .NET Framework, including examples of scenarios which may be affected, please see the DataTable and DataSet security guidance document.

Known Issue in This Security Update

Symptom Customers using Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 or Windows Server 2008, this update does not install, and it returns either or both of the following error messages:

  • -2146762495
  • A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file.
  • The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline.

Workaround

This issue was corrected by the latest release of this update. If you’ve already installed a previous release of this update, no action is required.
