Discussion

Siemens Mobile Phone SMS Denial of Service Vulnerability

Some Siemens produced mobile phones suffer from a vulnerability in their handling of SMS messages. If a maliciously formed SMS message contains certain unusual characters, the mobile phone will be unable to display or delete this message. If enough messages are sent, SMS functionality may be completely denied.

Earlier Siemens mobile phone products may share this vulnerability.
