Message-Id: <201212010030.36027.timb@nth-dimension.org.uk> Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2012 00:30:34 +0000 From: Tim Brown <timb@...-dimension.org.uk> To: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: Low severity flaw in RIM BlackBerry PlayBook OS browser Summary The web browser which comes as part of the RIM BlackBerry PlayBook OS can be tricked into disclosing the contents of local files through the planting of a malicious HTML file through the standard download mechanism. It should be noted that in order to exploit this issue, user interaction is required as the user will need to confirm the download of the malicious HTML file. After discussions with the vendor, CVE-2012-5828 was assigned to this vulnerability. Current As of 1st Novmeber 2012, the state of the vulnerability is believed to be as follows. RIM have begun shipping a patch which it is believed successfully resolves the reported issue. Thanks Nth Dimension would like to thank all the security folk at RIM, in particular the BlackBerry Incident Response team for the way they worked to resolve the issue. -- Tim Brown <mailto:timb@...-dimension.org.uk> <http://www.nth-dimension.org.uk/> View attachment "NDSA20121030.txt.asc" of type "text/plain" (4362 bytes) Download attachment "signature.asc " of type "application/pgp-signature" (837 bytes) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
