McKesson BPS Software NOT Affected by Heartbleed Bug

Post by Gavin Walker » Mon Apr 21, 2014 2:57 pm

McKesson Business Performance Services wishes to address any questions you may have about the "Heartbleed" OpenSSL bug in relation to our PM and EHR products. This vulnerability has not affected their products, nor has it affected the servers on which they host their products. Specifically, they have evaluated, tested and verified the safety of Practice Partner®, Medisoft®, Medisoft Clinical®, Lytec®, and Lytec MD, with respect to this bug.

The Heartbleed bug exploits a weakness in OpenSSL's implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol. The products listed above do not use OpenSSL for SSL/TLS. This is the basis for their immunity to this bug, which was also confirmed by additional tests verifying the absence of the Heartbleed bug in these products.
