Summary

Security Improvements

For more information please see CVE-2022-41064.

Quality and Reliability Improvements

WPF1

- Addresses an issue where a FailFast crash could occur when using WebBrowser.NavigateToString.

- Addresses an ArgumentOutOfRangeException that can arise when calling ListBox.ScrollIntoView while there are pending changes to the visual tree that will change or clear the underlying ItemsCollection.

- Addresses an ArgumentException "Width and Height must be non-negative" that can arise in an ItemsControl with grouping enabled, custom margins on the GroupItems, collapse/expand of GroupItems enabled, and run in high-DPI.

- Addresses an issue where the opt-out switch Switch.System.Windows.Controls.ToolTip.OptOutOfWCAG21ToolTipBehavior didn't quite restore the 4.8 behavior, in particular the way it honors Switch.UseLegacyToolTipDisplay (which controls whether keyboard tooltip behavior is enabled).

.NET Runtime

- Address crashes that could occur if ilasm.exe failed to establish temporary PDB file alongside the output file.
