Hey all...just wanted to pass this along...FYI.


For those of you who know and use Secunia PSI it's reporting a security vulnerability in Playbook OS 1.x. Here's the blurb....


DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in BlackBerry Tablet OS, which can
be exploited by malicious people and by malicious people with
physical access to the host computer to compromise a user's device.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error in the Samba
component related to file sharing. No further information is
currently available.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires file sharing over Wi-Fi to be enabled (disabled by default)
or a USB connected tablet to a host computer.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 1.x.

SOLUTION:
Upgrade to version 2.0.0.7971.

So for those of you who haven't yet upgraded to OS 2.0 all the more reason for you to do it now.
