Description:
Humberto J. Abdelnur, Radu State, and Olivier Festor have reported a weakness in Nokia N95, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The weakness is caused due to an error in processing SIP messages and can be exploited to cause the phone to become unresponsive via a specially crafted sequence of SIP messages.
Successful exploitation requires that the SIP client is enabled.
The weakness is reported in a Nokia N95 with firmware version 12.0.013. Other phones and versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Disable the SIP client.
