Research in Motion, the company behind the now practically ubiquitous BlackBerry range, has warned its users of a vulnerability discovered in its PDF software that poses a fairly pronounced security risk.
According to the folks at RIM, there are already maliciously coded PDFs floating around designed specifically to allow the viewer’s device to be controlled remotely by the source of the dodgy document. RIM’s official word on the topic has been to advise its users to download and install the relevant patch, which should shore up the various holes in RIM’s PDF viewer that allow the current exploit to run.
