Summary

RIM BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.7 through 6.0 for PC, and 1.0 for Mac, uses a weak password to encrypt a database backup file, which makes it easier for local users to decrypt the file via a brute force attack.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
