CVE-2008-3553

Description

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."

However, because it is from a company led by a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.
