QID 982023: Dotnet (nuget) Security Update for System.Net.Http.WinHttpHandler (GHSA-6xh7-4v2w-36q6)

A denial of service vulnerability exists when the ASP.NET Core fails to properly validate web requests. NOTE: Microsoft has not commented on third-party claims that the issue is that the TextEncoder.EncodeCore function in the System.Text.Encodings.Web package in ASP.NET Core Mvc before 1.0.4 and 1.1.x before 1.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by leveraging failure to properly calculate the length of 4-byte characters in the Unicode Non-Character range.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
