Summary

The dexdump tool in the Android SDK, prior to version 2.3, is susceptible to improper structural verification. This flaw allows user-assisted remote attackers to trigger a denial of service via a specially crafted APK or dex file that invokes methods with incorrect argument counts exceeding declared registers. This could result in the dexdump crashing and potentially executing arbitrary code if exploited.
