Emergency .NET update supplies a previously omitted fix: check Windows application versions again
Microsoft says an earlier update did not include the fix for CVE-2026-70197 and released a corrected package on 25 October. Development and operations teams using Windows .NET need to check again.

Source Facts
The issue involves reuse of SocketAsyncEventArgs on Windows and may cause an out-of-bounds write. This is a follow-up fix for the same vulnerability; 25 October must not be presented as its initial disclosure date.
The advisory lists patched packages for each affected branch. Self-contained applications must also be rebuilt and redeployed as directed. Updating a development computer alone may not cover every running application.
Even after updating once, continue checking whether the vendor revises its patch guidance.
