Android bug lets remote attacker disable phone calls via malformed SMS

Australian emergency-call law could trigger device bans against attack victims

The report notes that Australian Telecommunications (Emergency Call Service) Determination requires carriers to block devices that cannot reach Triple Zero (000). An attacker inducing this condition remotely could effectively get a victim's own device barred from carrier service, creating a perverse regulatory outcome where the fix for lost emergency access is network disconnection rather than OS patching.

“So an attacker who can remotely induce that condition on an Android handset can, in effect, get the victim's own device barred from carrier service until a fix exists.”
