Microsoft releases emergency .NET security fixes for Google Brotli bug

Microsoft has issued out-of-band .NET patches for a high-severity Brotli compression vulnerability that could enable memory corruption, information disclosure, denial of service, or privilege escalation across affected applications. For CIOs and technology leaders, the business risk is broad because Brotli is embedded in cloud-native stacks, APIs, containers, serverless workloads, and other runtime dependencies, making rapid remediation and software supply-chain visibility critical to avoid service disruption and potential compromise.
