  • Bluekeep Vulnerability
    Monthly Cybersecurity Newsletter June 2019 Issue Enterprise Security and Risk Management Office (ESRMO) From the Desk of the State Chief Risk Officer – Maria Thompson BlueKeep Vulnerability The National Security Agency (NSA) has released a cybersecurity advisory for a vulnerability (CVE-2019-0708) called “BlueKeep” that affects several old versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. The BlueKeep vulnerability allows for an unauthenticated attacker to connect to a vulnerable system using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) – formerly known as Terminal Services – and send specially crafted requests without user interaction. An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights on the vulnerable machine. Microsoft warns that the vulnerability is also “wormable,” meaning it can potentially spread from system to system without user interaction. The “BlueKeep” vulnerability is present in Windows 7, Windows XP, and Server 2003 and 2008. Windows 8 and Windows 10 are not currently vulnerable. Although Microsoft has issued a patch for this vulnerability, potentially millions of machines are still vulnerable. Microsoft strongly recommends installing the updates for this vulnerability as soon as possible, after appropriate testing. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Remote Desktop Services (RDS) handles connection requests. In addition to installing the patch, the following steps may also help reduce the risk of this vulnerability. • Disable RDS if it is not required. Disabling unused and unneeded services reduces exposure to security vulnerabilities. • Enable Network Level Authentication (NLA) on systems running supported Windows editions. With NLA turned on, an attacker would first need to authenticate to RDS with a valid account on the target system before exploiting the vulnerability.
