Android 'SMS of Death' flaw can crash phones with one text

Original: SMS of Death:la falla Android che può bloccare il telefono con un semplice SMS e che Google non riteneva grave La falla

Security researcher Mark Blaszczyk discovered an Android vulnerability dubbed 'SMS of Death', in which a specially crafted text message can freeze or crash the phone. The flaw reportedly cannot be properly processed by Android, and Google did not initially consider it severe. Discussion is focused on how a single message can disrupt devices and on Google's assessment of the risk.

Why now: A newly disclosed Android vulnerability that lets a simple SMS crash phones is raising concern about device security and Google's response.
