RIM fixes BlackBerry Enterprise Server bug
A critical bug in BlackBerry Enterprise Server(BES) (which is severe enough to makes the US Department of Homeland Security post a security alert), has been fixed by RIM. Hackers exploit a security vulnerability in the PDF distiller component of the BlackBerry Attachment Service,to break into company networks. By getting BlackBerry users to open malicious PDF files attached to e-mail messages, attackers could compromise servers running BES. BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is the name of the middle ware software package that is part of the BlackBerry wireless platform from Research In Motion.
