Vulnerabilities Identified in Dolphin, Mercury Android Browsers

Vulnerabilities exist in two popular alternative browsers for Android Dolphin and Mercury that depending on the browser could result in either remote code execution or arbitrary read/write access. Mobile security researcher Benjamin Watson, who blogs under the guise of Rotlogix, discovered the browser vulnerabilities and published descriptions, along with proof-of-concept code on both over the weekend. Dolphin, run by San Francisco-based Mobotap, Inc., boasts between 50,000-100,000 100,000,000 installs. Mercury s bugs are mostly rooted in its WiFi Transfer feature.
