RISK: Medium Risk
A vulnerability has been identified in BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Professional Software, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable server. This issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the PDF distiller of the BlackBerry Attachment Service component when processing malformed PDF files, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected service or execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF file on a BlackBerry smartphone that is associated with a user account on a vulnerable BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
