No, it won't. You actually have to open the message first, remember? The phone will just receive the messages, waiting for them to be read. Oh, by the way: 'Hang up' doesn't work on SL-42 either. It also disables the phone completely. -- Michael Landsmann. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Willis Johnson" <willisjat_private> To: <bugtraqat_private> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:28 AM Subject: RE: Siemens *35 and 45 series phones SMS Danial of Service What happens if the string is sent repeatedly while the phone is turned on but is unattended or receives text messages silently? Is the battery drained as predicted?

Note that Please note that this vulnerability isn't as serious as you describe it. At least on my S45, I am able to interrupt this 2 minute delay at any time by pressing the 'hang up' key (but I have to press it for about half a second instead of just hitting it), the message can be read by using 'edit message' instead of 'read message', and it can be deleted without problems. So while this obviously is a bug, it can hardly be called a DoS. Jan
