ICS-CERT Updates Meltdown Alert Again

Today the DHS ICS-CERT published the second update of their Meltdown Alert for this week. The update provides new information on the alert that was originally published on January 11^th, 2018 and updated on January 16^th, 2018, January 17^th, 2018, January 30^th, 2018, and on February 20^th, 2018.

The update provides links to three new vendor documents. They are:

• Beckman Coulter;

• Siemens (actually this link is good, but the one in the update does not work);

• Stryker (this is a direct link, the one in the update is a link to a link)

Both the Beckman and Stryker links take you to documents that were dated in January, so they are very preliminary notifications with little information. The Siemens document is dated today, and it provides some level of actionable detail for a number of industrial products.

NOTE: Siemens also released two other new security notifications this morning as well as updating six previously issued notifications. We may see these tomorrow on ICS-CERT, but more likely it will be next week.
