A patch was released for a critical remote code execution vulnerability in remote desktop services. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication on certain operating systems. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the target system; then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. If the vulnerability could be exploited locally, it would lock down the computer.

On 08/15/19, Urgent Medical Device Recall notices, dated 08/09/19, were mailed to customers informing them to follow the instructions in the notice to download the patch for their system(s). In addition, customers were asked to share this information with laboratory staff, to retain the notification as part of their laboratory Quality System documentation, and to complete and return the response form.
