This CVE was assigned today, discovered by Chris Withers:

CVE-2008-1546:
servlet/MIMEReceiveServlet in the web controller for Mitsubishi Electric GB-50
and GB-50A air-conditioning control systems allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (air-conditioning outage) via an XML document containing
a setRequest command.

I’m still hoping for the first GNU/Toaster.
