    Regarding the vulnerability CVE-2023-44487, do we know if applications using .NET Framework are impacted and more specifically, if they are deployed and hosted on IIS?

    • Rahul Bhandari (MSFT)Microsoft employee Author · Edited

      There is no specific .NET Framework update required to mitigate this vulnerability. However, non-.NET Framework components like IIS and HTTP.SYS require their own patch against this attack. These patches are part of the cumulative Windows OS updates that were released on Oct. 10.
