DoS attack on SonyEricsson phones

    A remote user may make a DoS attack due to an error while processing WAP push packets.
    A denial of service can be caused by a specially formed SMS message or UDP packet sent to port 2948 (in this case, one packet can be used to attack a large number of devices).
    An attack results in a reboot or abnormal shutdown.

    In order to restore the normal operation of the phone, you need to remove the battery from it (well, and then insert it back :)) As it turned out from the video , this can not be done. An

    attacker can send several identical SMS messages in order to extend the denial of service.

    Vulnerability testing was successfully carried out on the models:
    • W910i
    • W660i
    • K618i
    • K610i
    • Z610i
    • K810i
    • K660i
    • W880i
    • K530i

    Other devices on the same (or earlier) platform may also be vulnerable (thanks to the user NeGO for reminding me - when I wrote this article I forgot to mention)

    There are no ways to solve the problem.
