Manufacturer declares death of bugs Stuxnet used to sabotage Iran nukes


German conglomerate Siemens on Monday said it has fixed vulnerabilities in its software products that appeared to be identical to those that allowed the Stuxnet computer worm to disrupt Iran's nuclear program.

In advisories published here and here, Siemens said it updated its Simatic Step7 and Simatic WinCC software applications to "address vulnerabilities first discovered in 2010." That was the same year the Stuxnet worm was discovered burrowing into industrial control systems in Iran and other countries throughout the world.
