Motorola RAZR JPEG buffer overflow
| razr-jpeg-bo (42656) |  High Risk |
Description:
Motorola RAZR is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the JPEG thumbprint component of the EXIF parser. By persuading a victim to accept a specially-crafted JPEG image sent using MMS, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the device to crash.
