RIM has released a security warning with advisory about a hole on BlackBerry server that can be use by an attacker to compromise a system remotely. The vulnerabilities have a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score of 10.0 (high severity). Vulnerabilities exist in components of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that process PNG and TIFF images for rendering on the BlackBerry smartphone.
To exploit these vulnerabilities in how the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service processes PNG and TIFF images, an attacker would need to create a specially crafted web page and then persuade the BlackBerry smartphone user to click a link to that web page. The attacker could provide the link to the user in an email or instant message.
