Medtronic Patches Implanted Device, CareLink Programmer Bugs

[maruf.swe]

The medical device giant has issued fixes for bugs first disclosed in 2018 and 2019.

Medtronic has released updates to address known vulnerabilities in its line of connected medical devices that were initially disclosed last year and in 2018.

The vendor has addressed two sets of bugs. The first group, disclosed in March of last year, is found in a range of Medtronic implanted cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillation (CRT-D) devices; and in multiple implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). An ICS-CERT advisory last week gives the most severe of the flaws a CVSS “critical” severity rating of 9.3.
