The official NIST National Vulnerability Database description of the vulnerability says that improper input validation in the "handleRun of TextLine.java" could create a "possible application crash." In other words, a maliciously-crafted message could cause a denial of service to your Android device. A permanent denial of service attack that could effectively kibosh your smartphone. "User interaction is not needed for exploitation," the description continues, and the remote denial of service attack needs "no additional execution privileges," for good measure. The vulnerability applies to Android 8.0, Android 8.1, Android 9 and Android 10 versions.''
