It enables stealing your lockcode, email login/passwords, and sms sending & calling to premium paid datanumbers (without you noticing, untill the next phonebill).

rm -rf / is not that harmfull since you don't lose money and you can reflash (or reinstall in ubuntu). But when your starting to lose your money and privacy details, then you might get a bit more worried.
