    Description of vulnerability:
    
     There is a local and remote vulnerability and
     Siemens *35 and *45 series phones.
    
     A message of the form "%String", where String is on of the
     languages from the phone language selection menu, will
     completely disable *35 series phones and result
     in a 2 minute read delay on *45 series phones. Note that
     the first letter of language should be capitalized and
     the quotation marks should be present in the message.
    
    The phone will try to read the message and then after 2 minutes
     return to the main menu. This happens every time the message is sent.
     After 10-15 messages the battery (NiMH) gets empty.
     
    There is a local vulnerability of the same kind. A message of the
     form "%some_word", where some_word is any lower case letter
     sequence will result in the same effects described above.
    
    Vulnerability exploiting:
    
     (for remote): 
     We send on "phone - victim" the message:
       "%Deutsch"
     Or
       "%Polski" "%Magyar" "%English" "%Deutsch"
     (for local):
       "testedersecurity"
