Kaspersky reckons the exploit applies to SMBv2 as well:

https://securelist.com/blog/incidents/78351/wannacry-ransomware-used-in
-widespread-attacks-all-over-the-world/

I thought it was a typo in para 2 and the table, but they emailed back
saying nope, SMBv2 is (was) also broken. However, they also say (same
page) that the MS patch released in March this year fixes it.

Assuming they are right, I wonder why Microsoft didn't mention SMBv2?
