Research in Motion (RIM) has offered a fix to address a vulnerability in the BlackBerry desktop manager.Security advisory KB19701 claimed that a malicious user could perform an attack designed to deceive the legitimate user into clicking on a link to a malicious website that appears to be from a trusted source. If a user chose to access that site from the computer that is running the BlackBerry desktop manager, they may be able to perform remote code execution using the legitimate user's privileges on the computer.The BlackBerry desktop manager does not need to be running for a malicious user to exploit this vulnerability.
