Hologic validates MS17-010 WannaCry patch for Selenia, Dimensions and SecurView

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Jul 25 · 2 min read · Via Hologic bulletin CTB-00315

Hologic issued revision 002 of bulletin CTB-00315 on July 25, 2017 covering Microsoft MS17-010, the Critical security update for the Windows SMB flaw that WannaCry and EternalBlue exploit. Hologic validated the KB4012212 patch and recommends applying it.

The listed Breast Health products are the Affirm Prone Biopsy System, AWM, Dimensions, Trident, Windows Selenia, Cenova, SecurView and MultiView. That covers acquisition, review and workflow, so an unpatched SMB stack anywhere in the chain lets a worm move between them.

Fix the class in your product

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.
