    descriptionUpdates for rh-dotnet20-dotnet, rh-dotnetcore10-dotnetcore, and rh-dotnetcore11-dotnetcore are now available for .NET Core on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Low. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link (s) in the References section. .NET Core is a managed software framework. It implements a subset of the .NET framework APIs and includes a CLR implementation. New versions of .NET Core that address several security vulnerabilities are now available. The updated versions are .NET Core 1.0.10, 1.1.7, and 2.0.6. These correspond to the March 2018 security release by .NET Core upstream projects. Security Fix(es) : * .NET Core: Hash Collision Denial of Service (CVE-2018-0875) Red Hat would like to thank Ben Adams (Illyriad Games) for reporting this issue. For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
