For example, I think pacemakers can set the range of acceptable heart rates by radio. So now, you have to have logic checking that it doesn't get set to 0. But what happens if there's a buffer overflow in that checking?
Edit: here's a paper demonstrating similar attacks: http://www.secure-medicine.org/public/publications/icd-study.pdf http://www.secure-medicine.org/public/publications/icd-study...

Alternatively, you have the software check the set range, but the hardware (or a second non-connected processor) also checks it separately to make sure it's sane anyways.
