Potentially dangerous vulnerabilities in the Windows® operating system, known as "DejaBlue," can have serious consequences for Remote Desktop Service users. In response, Microsoft® has released the appropriate security patches for Windows users.
Since the Remote Desktop Service is disabled at the time of delivery, VisuNet remote monitors (thin clients) from Pepperl+Fuchs are not affected by these vulnerabilities by default. The current security gaps pose no risk if this setting is not changed.
If you are using the VisuNet RM Shell 5 or VisuNet RM Shell 4 firmware and use the Remote Desktop Service, however, Pepperl+Fuchs strongly recommends installing the new security update. Download the update for the version of VisuNet RM Shell you currently use to continue to protect your soft- and hardware against external influences.
In general, we recommend the installation of available security patches.
Please note that installation of security patches can take several hours.
