RIM fixes BlackBerry security flaw - vnunet.com

RIM fixes BlackBerry security flaw - vnunet.com:

"BlackBerry maker Research in Motion has issued a software fix for its mobile email service after flaws were revealed at a hacking conference over the holiday season.

A speaker called 'FX', from the Phenoelit hacking group, revealed the flaws on 30 December at the 22nd annual Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin. If exploited the flaws could have caused a denial of service attack against BlackBerry handhelds and email servers.

'While 'FX' commended the BlackBerry on its overall security and software coding, it also identified certain potential issues,' said RIM in a statement"
