Notice

This update is included in the February 2018 Preview of the Quality Rollups for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7 and 4.7.1 for Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB 4074807). Part of this update is included in the Security and Quality rollup (KB 4076494) on February 13, 2018, in the Preview of Quality rollup (KB 4057272) on January 17, 2018, and as part of the Security and Quality rollup (KB 4055266) on January 9, 2018.

Summary

This security update resolves a security feature bypass vulnerability that exists when Microsoft .NET Framework and .NET Core components do not completely validate certificates. This security update addresses the vulnerability by helping to make sure that .NET Framework and .NET Core components completely validate certificates. To learn more about this vulnerability, see Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2018-0786.

Additionally, this security update resolves a denial of service vulnerability that exists when .NET Framework and .NET core components improperly process XML documents. This update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how .NET Framework and .NET Core component applications handle XML document processing. To learn more about this vulnerability, see Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2018-0764.

Important

  • All updates for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 require that update KB 2919355 is installed. We recommend that you install update KB 2919355 on your Windows RT 8.1-based, Windows 8.1-based, or Windows Server 2012 R2-based computer so that you receive updates in the future.

  • If you install a language pack after you install this update, you must reinstall this update. Therefore, we recommend that you install any language packs that you need before you install this update. For more information, see Add language packs to Windows.

Additional information about this security update

  • Enhanced Key Usage (EKU) is described in section 4.2.1.12 of RFC 5280. This extension indicates one or more purposes for which the certified public key may be used in addition to or instead of the basic purposes that are indicated in the key usage extension. For example, a certificate that is used for the authentication of a client to a server must be configured for Client Authentication. Similarly, a certificate that is used for the authentication of a server must be configured for Server Authentication. With this change, besides requiring the appropriate client/server EKU on certificates, if the root certificate is disabled, the certificate chain validation fails. When certificates are used for authentication, the authenticator examines the certificate that is provided by the remote endpoint and seeks the correct purpose object identifier in Application Policies extensions. When a certificate is used for client authentication, the object identifier for Client Authentication must be present in the EKU extensions of the certificate, or authentication fails. The object identifier for Client Authentication is 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2. Likewise, when a certificate is used for server authentication, the object identifier for Server Authentication must be present in the EKU extensions of the certificate, or authentication fails. The object identifier for Server Authentication is 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1. Certificates that have no EKU extension continue to authenticate correctly. First, consider making changes to your component’s certificates to make sure that they are using the correct EKU OID attributes and are secured correctly. If you temporarily cannot access correctly reissued certificates, you can choose to opt in or out of the security change to avoid any connectivity effects. To do this, specify the following appsetting in the configuration file: <appSettings> <add key="wcf:useLegacyCertificateUsagePolicy" value="true" /> </appSettings> Note Setting the value to “true” will opt out of the security changes.
