BluejackQ
There’s a page dedicated to hijacking your mobile phone via Bluetooth. Appropriately enough, it’s called BluejackQ.

Windows 2003 and XP vulnerable to LAND DoS attack
LAND attack:
Sending TCP packet with SYN flag set, source and destination IP address and source and destination port as of destination machine, results in 15-30 seconds DoS condition.
Which is funny. The last time the LAND attack was seen was about 8 years ago. It’s a trivial remote DoS and you’d think that even basic QA would check for something like this.
Securityfocus has the Bugtraq posting:

No patch out yet, joy!
PaX: One bug and they roll over and die, how lame is that?
