Watch Out: Mobile TV and Radio May Make Your Smartphone Vulnerable

Filed in archive HTC , Smartphones , Virgin Mobile , Windows Mobile by Rico Mossesgeld on November 05, 2006

Ollie Whitehouse writes on the symantec links

Security Response Weblog writes that DAB-IP may open your mobile to attacks. What's DAB-IP, you ask? Digital Audio Broadcasting IP allows service providers to stream video and radio content to supported smartphones. An example of this is Virgin Mobile and the Lobster 700 TV.

Whitehouse is particularly concerned about "a situation where you could conceivably 'broadcast' exploits to a geographic area." Hopefully, the people over at Virgin Mobile are aware of the potential vulnerabilities listed by the writer.

Thanks to Geekzone for the heads-up.

Speaking of DAB digital radio, Symantec's Ollie Whitehouse alerts us to the standard for tunneling IP over DAB, ETSI ES 201 735 [PDF]. This sounds extremely cool for broadcast or multicast data to inexpensive devices.
