Description: A vulnerability was reported in the Blackberry Attachment Service on the Blackberry Enterprise Server. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions. A remote user may be able to execute arbitrary code.
A remote user can create a specially crafted Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file that, when viewed by the target user on a Blackberry
device, will trigger a heap overflow on the Blackberry Attachment Service and cuase the service to crash or potentially execute
arbitrary code [CVE-2005-2341]. The Attachment Service will restart immediately or after a period of time.
As a result, a user
may not be able to view attachments. No other Blackberry services are affected.
It may be possible to cause arbitrary code to
be executed.
FX reported that the software also does not properly process portable network graphics (PNG) images [CVE-2005-2344].
Versions from 4.0 to 4.0.1.9 are affected.
FX of Phenoelit reported this vulnerability.

Impact: A remote user can cause the Attachment Service to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.

Solution: The vendor has issued a fix (4.0 Service Pack 3, Hotfix 1 for Microsoft Exchange; 4.0 Service Pack 3 for IBM Lotus Domino and Novell
GroupWise) for the PNG vulnerability.
