A Micropatch Fix Issued For the Remote Desktop Services RCE Vulnerability Bluekeep in the Form of a 22 Instructions



BlueKeep, the Remote Desktop Service RCE vulnerability was recently issued a fix by the 0patch platform, as a 22 instructions micropatch which can be additionally used to ensure protection for always-on servers against many exploitation attempts.

After the vulnerability was unveiled, the critical software flaw known and tracked as as CVE-2019-0708 was at that point fixed by Microsoft on May 14. Be that as it may, 0patch's micropatch does not require rebooting and it focuses on a quite specific gathering of people, not at all like the Microsoft's security fix, enabling administrators to fix frameworks that either can't be restarted or don't consider for Microsoft security fixes to be installed for different reasons.

Mitja Kolsek, the co-founder of 0patch says that, “This is often due to always-on requirements, but another common reason is that restarting a fleet of remote machines (e.g., ATMs) brings a risk of having to physically visit all these machines in case something goes wrong (e.g., they don't wake up for some reason, or lose/corrupt in-memory data when they restart),"



The fix is known to fix the vulnerability influencing the 32-bit Windows XP SP3 only, yet the company is likewise said to port it to Server 2003 and different versions dependent on "user requests" to help legacy systems.

While the 0patch fixes are generally intended to be a substitute arrangement until Microsoft issues its very own official patches, for this situation, they will most likely be a lasting solution for servers that can't be restarted — except if their administrators figure out how to sidestep the issues keeping them from rebooting the machines.


Another conceivable arrangement would be to pursue Microsoft's recommendations and switch on Network Level Authentication (NLA) for Remote Desktop Services Connections on frameworks affected by the BlueKeep vulnerability.
