Windows Phone SMS bug / flaw
There is a recent flaw has been discovered for Windows Phone OS 7.5. Regardless of the hardware, this flaw is present in any Windows Phone device.
This is not a security related threat yet, however this flaw allows the attacker to reboot the device via one SMS and later this loads a host of problem like non working of the SMS module and such.
Since its a flaw based into the OS it self, so there is no way to prevent the attack happening. Attack would simple come as a SMS. The only way as of now to fix the issue is to reset the device to factory settings.
Below is the video of WinRumors, explaining the attack process.
