BlackBerry Security Advisory

Research In Motion has released a Security Advisory to address a vulnerability in the BlackBerry Application Web Loader ActiveX control. By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. The attacker could also cause Internet Explorer to crash.

US-CERT encourages users to review BlackBerry Security Advisory KB16248 and apply the resolution or implement the workaround listed in the document to help mitigate the risk.
