Among them, Denial of Service, Webview Remote Code Execution, AES / DES Weak Encryption, and Webview Clear Text Storage are all more than 15% of the total vulnerabilities. But it is worth all the developers pondered that this phenomenon has not improved over time, and APP was attacked, APP owners or ordinary users of the loss suffered cases are not uncommon, the mobile application security situation should cause more attention. APP in the existence of these loopholes, the loopholes in the principle of what? What harm? APP developers how to solve? And let small series enumeration one or two loopholes for your popularity.

1Denial of Service Vulnerability

Android application local Denial of Service vulnerability from the program did not Intent.getXXXExtra () to obtain the exception to capture, or in the abnormal data processing without abnormal capture, resulting in an attacker can be sent to the application by attacking the null data, abnormal or abnormal Data to achieve the purpose of the application crash, in short, is the intent of the attacker to send empty data, abnormal or abnormal data to the victim application, leading to its collapse.

1.2 Vulnerability hazards

Local denial of service vulnerabilities affect all versions of Android, not only can lead to security applications bypass or failure (such as antivirus software, security guards, anti-theft lock screen, etc.), but also can be used to attack competitors, making their own applications Collapse, resulting in varying degrees of economic loss.

In the second quarter of 16 industries top10 applications, the number of denial of service vulnerabilities than the first quarter rose 107%, its growth and the existence of security risks require developers to be vigilant as soon as possible to take security solutions self-test APP loopholes Situation and timely repair.
