Can someone explain how is this possible if you're phone is not rooted ?
There was an interesting talk of Collin Mulliner at a hacking conference in 2009:
Fuzzing your phone with SMS:

Mulliner researched iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile - but not N900

Personally, I think that the N900 has also bugs in the SMS application. Unfortunately, Nokia does not publish the source code.

Therefore we need some white hat binary hackers that create a fuzzing framework for the SMS applications.

I already contacted "Reggie" to create a new forum [Security] - but no reply until now .
