Denial of Service and Arbitrary Code Execution in dexdump

CVE-2011-1001 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

dexdump in Android SDK before 2.3 does not properly perform structural verification, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (dexdump crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed APK or dex file that calls a method using more arguments than the number of register that have been declared for that method.
