I believe this is technically local code execution, not remote. It's not like you can do this unless you have access to the device (the browser apparently doesn't allow it, and I can't imagine you can remotely make the device play an MP3).



From what I understood you can download a song thinking its new hottest club hit and have your Kindle bricked.


Assuming arbitrary code can brick it, yes. That is my impression. That's still not "remote" though.
