Loading vulnerability…
A vulnerability in the Browser application of Android 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to crash the application by embedding a specially crafted market: URI in the SRC attribute of an IFRAME element. When the browser processes the malicious IFRAME, it triggers a condition that leads to an application crash, resulting in a denial of service.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability (CVE-2012-6301) in the native Android browser on version 4.0.3. The module sets up an HTTP server that serves a specially crafted HTML page containing JavaScript. The script creates 600 iframes with random 'market://' URLs, which causes the vulnerable browser to crash when the page is loaded. The exploit is operational and does not provide code execution or further access—its sole purpose is to crash the browser. The code is written in Ruby (for the Metasploit module) and JavaScript (for the payload). The only fingerprintable endpoints are the attacker's web server and the use of 'market://' URLs in the payload.
