### [CVE-2018-8409: .NET Core Denial Of Service Vulnerability](https://github.com/dotnet/Announcements/issues/83)
**Executive summary**
Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in .NET Core 2.1. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability.
Microsoft is aware of a denial of service vulnerability in .NET Core when System.IO.Pipelines improperly handles requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a denial of service against an application that is leveraging System.IO.Pipelines. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without authentication. A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted requests to the application.
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how System.IO.Pipelines handles requests.
