Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
An issue was discovered in St. Jude Medical Merlin@home, versions prior to Version 8.2.2 (RF models: EX1150; Inductive models: EX1100; and Inductive models: EX1100 with MerlinOnDemand capability). The identities of the endpoints for the communication channel between the transmitter and St. Jude Medical's web site, Merlin.net, are not verified. This may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to access or influence communications between the identified endpoints.
