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.
