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.
