American industrial giant Emerson this week informed customers that it has released firmware updates for its Rosemount X-STREAM gas analyzers to address half a dozen vulnerabilities, including ones that have been rated high severity.
Emerson's gas analyzers are designed to allow industrial organizations to continuously analyze process gas emissions.
The company discovered during internal testing that its X-STREAM enhanced analyzers are affected by a total of six vulnerabilities.
The company published an initial advisory in December 2020, but it did not provide any information about the vulnerabilities - it only provided some general recommendations that customers could apply until patches became available.
A second version of the advisory was published on May 18, when the company provided a brief description for each vulnerability and informed customers about the availability of patches.
