Description:
Airscanner Mobile Security has reported a security issue in Pocket Controller Professional, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The problem is caused due to missing authentication in the control management for certain actions. This can be exploited to turn off, reboot, or hard reset a vulnerable PDA by sending certain packets via a wireless connection to the PDA on port 5492.
