Microsoft released a series of important .NET Framework updates on Patch Tuesday. These updates fix severe vulnerabilities that could even allow remote code execution.

More specifically, sometimes the .NET Framework fails to properly validate input before loading libraries. As a result, attackers who successfully exploit this vulnerability could take control of the affected systems.

They could then install malicious programs, view, change, or delete data, create new accounts with full user rights, and more.

Keep in mind that there is a known issue related to these updates. Applications that connect to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server on the same computer generate the following error message: “provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 15 – Function not supported“. The good news is that there are three workarounds available to fix this issue:

  • Disable the Shared Memory and Named Pipes protocols on the server side to force TCP-only connections to SQL Server.
  • Create an alias on the server to force TCP protocol for local applications
  • Disable shared memory from the Client Configuration tool (32-bit and 64-bit).
