Visual Studio 2019 16.9.4 fixes two security holes and .NET Core 3.1.14 has been released


Yesterday Microsoft made a new version of Visual Studio 2019 with version number 16.9.4 available for download. It also contains two security vulnerabilities that have been fixed, which are listed under CVE-2021-27064 and CVE-2021-28313. Of course, other corrections were also made.

  • Fixed SFINAE bug that caused a bug with some forms of template names in non-dependent base classes.
  • Fixed a bug where IntelliCode tried to log into a temporary directory and access to the temporary directory was denied.
  • Fixed an issue where some functionality of Visual Studio would be limited if third-party access management software was also installed.
  • Fixed an issue where customers repeatedly start debugging on the XBox using more and more kernel resources. Finally the XBox had to be restarted, which lost all status.
  • Fixed a hang when debugging native code with Windows Insider Preview builds.
  • Fixed an accessibility bug with keyboard focus.
  • Missing Xamarin templates (iOS / Android Class Library, iOS / Android Bindings Library, Android Wear, Xamarin.UITest) were added again in the New Project dialog. These templates were accidentally hidden.
  • For C ++ CMake-based projects that target Linux and use an SSH connection, the target directory specified by the remoteCMakeListsRoot property in CMakeSettings.json has been reverted to the previous behavior in VS 16.8, where the target of the copy was the Root directory corresponds to the source directory.

Anyone who has installed .NET Core will have received the new version 3.1.14 yesterday on Patchday via Windows Update. Otherwise, further details can be found on GitHub.
