I have sent this to the security mail of nokia without success and to the normal support contact with no response. So I forward this I think could be interesting. I just see other strange memory behaviour like the one described : a calendar entry having the ending characters of another entry. And when I change one entry this seems to change and corrupting the other and vice versa. I don't tested these problems on other nokia models. ----- Original Message -----
A found something strange on my nokia 5210 and ask myself if it isn't a
bug
in the software. I add a new entry on my calendar. But the last characters of my new entry are changed with the square "" char. If I add a new entry with fewer characters the entry is ok. Than I add another entry on a different date. My new entry isn't correct and show only 3 squares "". Than I look in my previews entry
and
the last characters that was correct are now not correct and show squares "". I think I have used my full memory for calendar entry and it seems to act like a "bufferoverflow" ? I ask myself if security problems can rise if somebody send a new
calendar
entry via sms to somebody else this will "delete" some characters of other entries in the phone ?... So we can send a lot of new calendar entries to somebody
to "bufferoverflow"
is memory or delete personal informations ??? Could you give me feedback about this ? Thank you.
