FKIE_CVE-2008-3553

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-08-08 19:41 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:56
Severity
Summary
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Nokia Series 40 3rd edition devices allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, probably related to MIDP privilege escalation and persistent MIDlets, aka "ISSUES 3-10." NOTE: as of 20080807, the only disclosure is a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, because it is from a company led by a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.
