Canon Medical revised its security advisory on CVE-2021-34527, the Windows Print Spooler remote code execution vulnerability, on August 24, 2021. It lists Windows 10 and Windows 7 based CT, MRI, Angiography/Cardiology, Ultrasound, X-Ray Ultimax/Kalare, X-Ray Soltus/Flex-Pro/Omnera/RadPro and Eye-Care CX-1/CR/TX/Xephillo products as possibly affected, along with InnerVision service processors on Windows XP, 7 and 10.

Canon provides Microsoft update schedules and port-blocking mitigations. The Windows XP service processors stand out on that list, since XP left Microsoft support years earlier.

The flaw is in the OS inside the controller, or a system past end of service still in the field. As the maker, own the embedded OS and server lifecycle as a safety obligation, design controllers to update in the field, and make every fault degrade to a defined safe state.

Own the OS lifecycle. Patch the OS and server components on a schedule with a tested delivery path.
Design for field update. And for planned replacement, so an unpatchable unit has a path off the network.
Degrade to safe. A fault drives a defined safe state, never an unexpected stop on a life-sustaining device.
