Summary:

USN 6161-1 introduced a regression in .NET that could incorrectly
cause X.509 certificate imports to fail when they should succeed.

Software Description:
- dotnet6: dotNET CLI tools and runtime
- dotnet7: dotNET CLI tools and runtime

Details:

USN-6161-1 fixed vulnerabilities in .NET. The update introduced
a regression with regards to how the runtime imported X.509
certificates. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

  It was discovered that .NET did not properly enforce certain
  restrictions when deserializing a DataSet or DataTable from
  XML. An attacker could possibly use this issue to elevate their
  privileges. (CVE-2023-24936)

  Kevin Jones discovered that .NET did not properly handle the
  AIA fetching process for X.509 client certificates. An attacker
  could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
  (CVE-2023-29331)

  Kalle Niemitalo discovered that the .NET package manager,
  NuGet, was susceptible to a potential race condition. An
  attacker could possibly use this issue to perform remote
  code execution. (CVE-2023-29337)

  Tom Deseyn discovered that .NET did not properly process certain
  arguments when extracting the contents of a tar file. An attacker
  could possibly use this issue to elevate their privileges. This
  issue only affected the dotnet7 package. (CVE-2023-32032)

  It was discovered that .NET did not properly handle memory in
  certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue
