What confused the people dismissing this all over the comments here? It was clearly a DoS bug.
Perhaps the site's tagline was all they read and admittedly I'd have phrased differently.
> A single malformed WAP Push SMS crashes com.android.phone on Android, dropping active calls (including emergency calls), with zero interaction from the victim.
An easier way to deliver the point across could be:
> Anyone can send an specially crafted SMS to repeatedly crash the victim's phone app on Android without user interaction. Google didn't fix it, here's an app you can download to send that SMS and disable anyone's phone remotely.
Just my 2 cents for OP, good job on finding and reporting this and it sounds great that it was actually patched, glad you persisted through the frustration of dealing with google's triaging.
