         CVE Name       Pending                                               

    Description  A 16 bit SMS message that contains an odd message length     
                 value will cause the message decoding loop to run forever.   
                 The message buffer is not on the stack but will be           
                 overflowed resulting in corrupted memory and an immediate    
                 crash.                                                       

    Resolution  This patch corrects the evaluation of the message length      
                indicator, ensuring that the message decoding loop will stop  
                at the end of the received message.                           
                                                                              
                Thanks to Jan Juergens for finding, reporting, testing, and   
                providing a fix for this problem.
