lol, ya, because the BB never had PDF vulnerabilities?
PDF vulnerability found in Blackberry Attachment Service -- Government Computer News
Keep coming...03-07-11 09:43 AM - The vulnerability could allow a malicious individual to cause buffer overflow errors, which may result in arbitrary code execution on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Attachment Service. While code execution is possible, an attack is more likely to result in the PDF rendering process terminating before it completes. In the event of such an unexpected process termination, the PDF rendering process will restart automatically but will not resume processing the same PDF file.lol, ya, because the BB never had PDF vulnerabilities?
PDF vulnerability found in Blackberry Attachment Service -- Government Computer News
Keep coming...
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a malicious individual to persuade a BlackBerry smartphone user to open a specially crafted PDF file on a BlackBerry smartphone that is associated with a user account on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The PDF file may be attached to an email message or the BlackBerry smartphone user may retrieve it from a web site using the BlackBerry Browser.
Nobody(especially me) ever said RIM is immune. This is not technically a phone vulnerability and is only BES related, although you are pointing out is in software developed by RIM. A denial of service is still
not quite in the same league as rooting the phone via a pdf exploit or specially crafted malware type app.
In addition, the phone itself does not need to be patched for the vulnerability to be rendered ineffective.03-07-11 11:49 AM - That's just one example i7. If it was up to you, we'd be sitting here all day flinging poo at each other via various weaknesses or issues with all platforms out there regardless of if it's a phone or computer or whatever. Case in point, learn to deal with the fact that everything out there has a weakness no matter what. You're making it out to seem like everyone with anything but a BB in their pockets is about to catch AIDS.
Also, while we're at it, the PDF vulnerability that was used to jailbreak iDevices via the jailbreak website link has already been patched as of ohhh, 4.0.2, which is way older then the 4.2.x code everyone is running now. So really, all you're doing is digging up non-relevant old stuff from middle of last year pal.
Like I said, keep coming...03-07-11 04:03 PM - This is not about tit for tat. This is about serious critical vulnerabilities in Androids, drive by rootings and the ability to crack an iphone in 6 minutes if the phone is in your possession. Versus, some denial of service on BES. The stupidity with this Jaredco app is a misuse of your personal information, that has the potential for happening on any computing device. But some devices are more immune to rootings than others.That's just one example i7.

It's not about keep it coming, it's a discussion point. I'm thinking of getting an iphone so I'm not saying these cracking techniques would really deter me or really worry me.03-08-11 10:35 AM - I was looking forward to reading something that said iOS got hacked again. Seems I clicked on a link that just told me Apple and Google released several patches to their OSs and browsers ahead of an annual hack contest. Guess what?... Tuesday was MS's patch Tuesday.
Oh the conspiracy. lol03-09-11 08:27 PM - Mike lazaradis founded the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics at the U of waterloo in 2000 and has become the premier center for physics on the globe...ranks in top 3 I believe....Steven Hawkings sits on the board and even resides in waterloo in the summer to conduct research...he can't be here year round due to our climate....anyhoo back on topicI was looking forward to reading something that said iOS got hacked again.

Oh the conspiracy. lol
They are currently working on uncrackable encryption and encryption in general....guess who gets acsess on the info and the implamentation of it....if you guessed Mike L and Rim you are correct! Connect the dots with my reply as you see fit ( leading center for encryption research in the world)
U of W is well recognized around the globe as the place to be as far as computer sciences go...
As far as qnx security goes.....
