# Summary: BACnet® Smart Building Controllers. ABB's BACnet portfolio features a
# series of BACnet® IP and BACnet MS/TP field controllers for ASPECT® and INTEGRA™
# building management solutions. ABB BACnet controllers are designed for intelligent
# control of HVAC equipment such as central plant, boilers, chillers, cooling towers,
# heat pump systems, air handling units (constant volume, variable air volume, and
# multi-zone), rooftop units, electrical systems such as lighting control, variable
# frequency drives and metering.
#
# The FLXeon Controller Series uses BACnet/IP standards to deliver unprecedented
# connectivity and open integration for your building automation systems. It's scalable,
# and modular, allowing you to control a diverse range of HVAC functions.
#
# Desc: The ABB Cylon FLXeon BAS controller is vulnerable to authenticated root command
# execution via the cmds API. An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary system
# commands with root privileges.
