The advisory lists the affected versions as BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1.3 through 4.1.6 and BlackBerry Professional Software 4.1.4. By convincing a user to view a specially crafted PDF file, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on the system that hosts the Blackberry Attachment Service.
