View products that this article applies to.

This May 2017 update for Windows Server 2012 includes cumulative reliability improvements in the .NET Framework 4.5.2. We recommend that you apply this update as part of your regular maintenance routines. Before you install this update, see the "Prerequisites" and "Restart requirement" sections.

Important

• If you install a language pack after you install this update, you must reinstall this update. Therefore, we recommend that you install any language packs that you need before you install this update. For more information, see Add language packs to Windows.

For ASP.NET

Fix 1

In the following scenarios, ASP.NET may duplicate the cookie in response headers:

• Before a request cookie is loaded, the response cookie is added.

• A response cookie is added, and then a native module sets the response cookie.

After you apply this fix, ASP.NET makes sure that response cookies are not duplicated.

Fix 2

ASP.NET sequentially executes requests that have the same SessionID, which means you may see the requests piling up in the queue if there are lots of concurrent requests that have the same SessionID. After you apply this fix, you can limit the number of the requests in the queue through the following AppSetting:

<appSettings>
   <add key="aspnet:RequestQueueLimitPerSession" value="50"/>
</appSettings>

For CLR

Fix 1

If you marshal an array of struct A and also an array of struct B as SAFEARRAY, and struct A and B have identical GUIDs, a memory leak may occur.

For WPF

Fix 1

In some cases, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) tries to process a touch or stylus input by using a null StylusDevice member. This can cause a NullReferenceException exception. This fix checks for this issue and guards against it.

Fix 2

A WPF application that uses a virtualizing list control (List Box, DataGrid, TreeView, or so on) can encounter an ArgumentNullException exception when you scroll to a list item whose size has greatly decreased since the last time that it was re-virtualized.

Note This update also contains cumulative updates that were released previously starting from October 11, 2016.
