NAS, storage and server products.

The 23 October notice says B-Watch, which bundles PHP and Apache, may be affected depending on the environment. Uninstalling B-Watch removes those bundled components.

Scope: B-Watch only. Removal does not affect basic storage/server operation. This is not a blanket patch-completion statement for all products.

What users should do

Migrate to Raid Watch using the official procedure if monitoring is needed; otherwise remove B-Watch. Ask about the installed configuration on Windows Server 2022 units.

The official notice lists specific configurations equipped with Raid Watch as unaffected by this issue.

Scope: Covers GA2210/2012/206 with Windows Server 2025, Windows 10 IoT 2021 or Windows 11 IoT 2024; GD102/PS306/PS302 with those IoT OS releases; and all GAIAPRO Desktop406SV/Rackmount406SV models. Model name alone is insufficient.

What users should do

Check the actual monitoring software and OS. Ask about Windows Server 2022 units because some shipped with B-Watch depending on production date.
