The iPhone bug allows an attacker to take complete control of the coveted device simply by sending the owner an SMS, or short message service, message, said Charlie Miller, principal analyst at Independent Security Evaluators. He said he informed Apple's security team of the vulnerability several weeks ago and has yet to receive an official response. ... Mulliner also reported several bugs that can cause smart phones running Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating systems to crash. Because SMS messages are stored on carrier servers until the recipient is online, hackers can create long-lasting denial-of-service attacks by queuing up a large number of the malformed SMS messages.
