BlackBerry PlayBook OS v1.07.3312 Fixes Adobe Flash Vulnerability

RIM has pushed out an update to the BlackBerry PlayBook OS bringing it to OS v1.07.3312. This version is now available and addresses a vulnerability that Adobe announced in Flash on September 21st that could potentially cause issues for devices that support Flash though no exploits are currently documented. Users running OS v1.0.7.2942 will get an update that will only include this Adobe Flash update and should take only a few minutes to install. This is because of the piecemeal updates RIM allowed for in the last update which should make subsequent updates much easier.

RIM Releases Patch for Severe BES Vulnerability – Latest Version Safe

RIM released a patch for all of the recent versions of BlackBerry Enterprise server. Its good to note that this vulnerability effects most new versions of BES from v5.0.1 to v5.0.3 MR2 though it was fixed in BES v5.0.3 MR3 for both Exchange and Lotus Domino. This is a pretty serious vulnerability that can be exploited by users visiting a website with a malicious TIFF or PNG image file or even an email with such an image. The only workaround disables all images so the patch is really your only bet.
