Summary
Security Improvements
There are no new security improvements in this release. This update is cumulative and contains all previously released security improvements.
Quality and reliability improvements
|
WPF1 |
- Addresses an issue where invoking a synchronization Wait on the UI thread can lead to a render-thread failure, due to unexpected re-entrancy. |
|
Networking |
- Addresses an issue when Ssl negotiation can hang indefinitely when client certificates are used when TLS 1.3 is negotiated. Before the change renegotiation (PostHandshakeAuthentiction) would fail and SslStream or HttpWebRequest would observe timeout. Possible workaround is disabling TLS 1.3 either via Switch.System.Net.DontEnableTls13 AppContext or via OS registry. |
