GAITHERSBURG, MD and BERN, SWITZERLAND: Patton Electronics

SmartNode™ VoIP solutions, BODI rS™ High Availability Fixed & Mobile Routers, and
CopperLink™ Ethernet Extenders—has delcared the company's products are not susceptible to the
OpenSSL security vulnerability— commonly known as the Heartbleed
Bug—that was made public yesterday.
The two operating systems installed in SmartNode products—Trinity and SmartWare—are NOT affected by the Heartbleed Bug.
Technical Details
- HeartBleed only affects OpenSSL version 1.0.1 up to 1.0.1f and OpenSSL 1.0.2-beta releases. Neither of these versions have been installed in any Patton products.
- Trinity uses an older version 1.0.0 for SIP/TLS and SSH.
- SmartWare uses a proprietary implementation of SSH based on aan earlier release of OpenSSL that pre-dates version 1.0.1.
- Going forward, versions 1.0.1g and 1.0.2 and higher of OpenSSL contain a fix for this issue. When developing software upgrades for future versions of SmartNode software, Patton will only use those corrected versions of OpenSSL.
