.NET Framework February Security and Quality Rollup

Tara Overfield

February 9th, 2021

Today, we are releasing the February 2021 Security and Quality Rollup Updates for .NET Framework.

Security

CVE-2021-24111– .NET Framework Denial of Service Vulnerability

This security update addresses a denial of service vulnerability in .NET Framework. For more information please see CVE-2021-24111.

Quality and Reliability

This release contains the following quality and reliability improvements.

ASP.NET
  • Addresses an issue where after installing the update released on October 20th, some ASP.Net applications fail during precompilation – likely with a message that contains the words “Error ASPCONFIG.”
CLR1
  • Improves the reliability of automatic Native Image generation task.
WPF2
  • Addresses a hang when scrolling to the end of a TreeView, when layout rounding is enabled and DPI scaling is not 100%.

1 Common Language Runtime (CLR)
2 Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

Known issues in this update

SymptomAfter installing this update, WPF apps may crash with a callstack similar to
Exception Info: System.NullReferenceException at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.HasCustomChrome(System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource, RECT ByRef)
at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.GetEffectiveClientRect(IntPtr)
at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.PossiblyDeactivate(IntPtr, Boolean)
at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.Dispose()

This occurs when disposing an HwndSource whose RootVisual is null, a situation that arises in Visual Studio when docking or splitting windows, and could arise in other apps.

WorkaroundTo work around this problem, set two AppContext switches using one of the methods described in AppContext Class (System) under the heading “AppContext for library consumers”.  The switches are named

Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.OptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix and

Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.DoNotOptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix

and both should be set to “true”.   The first switch avoids the crash, but re-introduces the bug fixed in the KBs.  The second switch is currently ignored, but will be recognized in a future .NET update that contains a fix for the null-reference crash;  it restores the original bug fix.

For example, using the app.config file method to apply the workaround at application scope:

<AppContextSwitchOverrides 
value="Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.OptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix=true; 
Switch.System.Windows.Interop.MouseInput.DoNotOptOutOfMoveToChromedWindowFix=true " />
