Boston Scientific says SonicWall firewalls sold with iLAB and POLARIS carry URGENT/11 flaws

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Jan 3 · 2 min read · Via Boston Scientific URGENT/11 statement

Boston Scientific published a statement, Revision 1, on January 3, 2020. Two SonicWall firewall appliances sold as optional Network Security Devices for the iLAB Ultrasound Imaging System and POLARIS Imaging System are affected by the URGENT/11 IPnet TCP/IP stack vulnerabilities.

No Boston Scientific device uses the affected IPnet stack, and no exploitation has been reported. The exposed part is the appliance bought to protect the imaging system, and it needs the same patch cadence as any perimeter firewall.

For ProvidersOperators, hospitals, and clinical engineering

The URGENT/11 exposure sits in the optional SonicWall firewall appliances sold with iLAB and POLARIS, not in the imaging systems. Update those appliances with SonicWall's firmware fix and confirm they are on a supported release.

Find the appliances. Identify SonicWall Network Security Devices installed with iLAB or POLARIS systems.
Update the firewall firmware. Apply SonicWall's fixed firmware for URGENT/11.
Put them under IT patching. Add the appliances to the perimeter device patch cycle.

For Device ManufacturersAm I affected, and how to fix the class

Am I affected?

This class applies to devices with the signals and properties below. Check them against your product to gauge exposure. The named product rows list what the sources state about the affected product.

Fix the class in your product

The advisory is not for a bug you wrote; it is in a component you embed. As the maker, pin dependencies to fixed versions, generate an SBOM on every build including transitive components, and gate the pipeline on known-vulnerable components so an advisory maps to your products automatically.

Pin and inventory. Exact versions, and a CycloneDX or SPDX SBOM as a build artifact including transitive deps.
Gate on advisories. A CI scan fails a release carrying a component with a known advisory.
Own the field patch path. Know how you deliver a dependency or platform patch to fielded devices before you need it.
