Las actualizaciones del martes de parches de Microsoft de junio de 2023 incluían una solución para una importante vulnerabilidad del Kernel de Windows, pero está desactivada por defecto. Aquí tienes todo lo que necesitas saber, además de un script que te ayudará a activar el parche en varias versiones de Windows.
¿Qué es el CVE-2023-32019?
Microsoft califica al CVE-2023-32019 como una vulnerabilidad de divulgación de información del Kernel de Windows, que afecta a varias versiones, incluidas las últimas actualizaciones de Windows 10, Windows Server y Windows 11.
Una explotación exitosa podría permitir al intruso ver la memoria heap de un proceso con privilegios ejecutándose en un servidor, y su activación no requiere privilegios de administrador u otros privilegios elevados. Lo que sí requiere es que el intruso coordine el ataque con otro proceso privilegiado que ejecute otro usuario en el sistema.
A pesar de una puntuación base de CVSS relativamente modesta (4,7/10), Microsoft ha señalado esta vulnerabilidad como de severidad importante. Sin embargo, la corrección incluida en las actualizaciones de junio de 2023 requiere un paso adicional para activarla realmente. ¿Por qué?
¿Por qué la corrección de CVE-2023-32019 está deshabilitada de forma predeterminada?
Aunque la documentación de soporte de Microsoft no es muy detallada, la compañía sí explica que mitigar esta vulnerabilidad introduce un «posible cambio de rotura». Por lo tanto, están dejando que los usuarios activen manualmente la resolución en entornos de prueba y animándoles a que vigilen de cerca si se producen interrupciones antes de extender la solución a un ámbito más amplio.
Microsoft también afirma que «en una versión futura, esta resolución se habilitará de forma predeterminada. Te recomendamos que valides esta resolución en tu entorno. A continuación, tan pronto como se valide, habilita la resolución lo antes posible».
Cómo activar la corrección de CVE-2023-32019 mediante PowerShell
Para mitigar esta vulnerabilidad es necesario que los usuarios establezcan un valor de clave de registro en función de la versión de Windows que estén ejecutando (cada versión requiere un valor de clave diferente). Basta decir que este paso adicional ha suscitado quejas.
Para facilitar las cosas, nuestro Ingeniero de productos de software, Kyle Bohlander, ha creado el siguiente script que comprobará el sistema operativo y aplicará el cambio correcto en el registro, según corresponda.
Nota: Este script no está limitado únicamente a los usuarios de NinjaOne, es de uso público. Sin embargo, tal y como aconseja Microsoft, esta corrección debe aplicarse en máquinas de prueba antes de proceder a un despliegue más amplio y, como siempre, si decides ejecutarla es bajo tu propia responsabilidad.
