You can find it here : SMS hack.pdf
Now 4 caveats :
1) They tested it in lab environment, so not by sending real SMS's over a carrier (because that cost money :-) )
2) If some hacker really wants to exploit this he will need a lot of phonenumbers (and cash to send the SMS)
3) The hacker his identity will be quickly revealed as sending of SMS is not anonymous at all.
4) The only thing that the paper described is how to crash an iPhone (and Android GSM) not really taking over the thing. It will be a hard thing to do to really send a program over a carrier via SMS to actually take over an iPhone or an Android GSM
