- How seriousness this bug is is a matter of perspective. The SIM card

source code, as far I can see the executable and source the entry field is
limited to 4 digits:
Fragment of code found in applet-device-gsm.c
...
*out_secret_entry = GTK_ENTRY (w);
gtk_entry_set_max_length (GTK_ENTRY (w), 4);
gtk_entry_set_width_chars (GTK_ENTRY (w), 4);
