Android - JAVA Denial of Service: Parse Double
<p>There is a vulnerability in implementations of <code>java.lang.Double.parseDouble()</code> and related methods that can cause the thread to hang when parsing any number in the range </p>

<pre><code>[2^(-1022) - 2^(-1075) : 2^(-1022) - 2^(-1076)]
</code></pre>

<p>This is not an issue when using java version 6 Update 24 or later.  </p>

<p>So in order to develop a secure android application, is it enough to make sure that APK is built on using a JDK whose version is 1.6u24 and above?
OR, this issue is also related to the Android Dalvik VM?  </p>

<p>Please help in clarifying as I might have misconceptions. </p>
