Description

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.

Affected products

Google Android Sdk: through 2.2; 1.1, 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.1
