Researchers discovered two vulnerabilities in Alaris Gateway Workstations that are used to deliver fluid medication. One of them is critical and an attacker could leverage it to take full control of the medical devices connecting to it.
A flaw in the firmware code of the device has been assigned the highest severity score, a perfect 10, so it can be exploited remotely and without authentication. The other issue received is less severe and affects the workstation's web-based management interface.
[...] Researchers at CyberMDX discovered that AGW's firmware can be replaced remotely with a custom version. An attacker sitting on the same network as the target system would be able "update and manipulate a CAB file, which stores files in an archived library and utilizes a proper format for Windows CE," say the researchers.
With this type of access, the adversary would be able to alter the dosage of the drug dispensed by certain models of infusion pumps connected to an AWG, which are common in hospital wards and intensive care units.

Yah, let's see 500 articles in a row about alt-right: then let see how fast this place dies.
I don't like all submissions but I like seeing a variety of submissions. One or two GOOD alt-right articles from Ari? Fine.
500 shit alt-right submissions? Suck my dick, NO!
ALL he submits is the same boring shit with whining and complaining. He's become a joke.
How many times would YOU, if you were an editor, want to post a good, logical reason for rejecting shit after the 500th submission of said shit?
