RIM restores nearly wrecked up Blackberry server faults
Posted on July 24th, 2008 | Filed under: RIM
An anticipatory modus operandi to maintain their Blackberry servers is being used by Research in Motion (RIM), the fabricators of Blackberry. RIM claims to have recognized and set right a PDF parsing susceptibility in their Blackberry servers instead of waiting for vulnerabilities to weigh down enterprise users entire Blackberry email-backends.
RIM remarked, “There were no customer reports of any actual problems relating to this vulnerability, and RIM has since provided software updates that resolve the issue.”
RIM decided to step up suspecting a delay could cause the entire server to crash down. Decepting Blackberry users to open a virulent PDF email attachment, the critical security hole would let malcontent and hackers gain access to the Enterprise Server. As stated by Rim only 4.1.3 through 4.1.5 Enterprise Server versions were the ones affected by the PDF security void. Distinctly not influenced by the flaw was Enterprise Server version 4.1.6 for Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino.
Not letting the flaw bog them down, RIM has circulated the security restoration to all Blackberry Enterprise server customers.
