Out-of-Bounds Write in Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64 (CVE-2026-70197)

Summary

Out-of-bounds write in Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64 (CVE-2026-70197). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via SocketAsyncEventArgs. Mitigation: upgrade to 10.0.13 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Executive summary

Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in System.Net.Sockets. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability.

On Windows, reusing a SocketAsyncEventArgs instance across IPv4 and IPv6 datagram sockets can retain an undersized cached native address buffer, allowing an unauthenticated out-of-bounds write during ReceiveFromAsync.

🔥 Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 8.1/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 10.0.13.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64 を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64 to 10.0.13

    ステージング環境で 10.0.13 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
