"It's the turn of Blackberry devices to be plagued by image-related security issues . US-CERT have posted a vulnerability note on the vulnerability: A heap overflow vulnerability in the way the service renders TIFF format image files could allow an attacker supplying a specially crafted TIFF file to cause the service to stop functioning.

A user must view the attacker-supplied attachment on a BlackBerry Handheld in order to trigger the vulnerability.

Steer clear of attachments on you Blackberry for a while. Technorati Tags: Blackberry, TIFF"
