Summary

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the PDF distiller in the Attachment Service component in Research In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) software 4.1.3 through 5.0 and BlackBerry Professional Software 4.1.4 allow user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted .pdf file attachment, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-3246 and CVE-2009-0219.
