Description:
Tobias Engel has reported a vulnerability in various Nokia phones, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the processing of SMS messages. This can be exploited to prevent a phone from receiving further text messages by sending messages starting with a specially crafted email address to an affected device.
The vulnerability is reported in the following devices:
* E61
* E90
* E71
* N73
* 6120 classic
NOTE: Reportedly, other Nokia phones based on S60 2.6, 2.8, 3.0 and 3.1 are also affected.
