Is Your BlackBerry Vunerable to a Denial Of Service Attack?

The French Security Incident Response Team issued a security advisory late yesterday described as a “low risk vulnerability” that primarily affects BlackBerry Pearl devices running OS 4.2 and earlier.

A vulnerability has been identified in various BlackBerry devices, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service. This issue is due to an error in the BlackBerry browser that fails to properly handle overly long URLs, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a vulnerable device to become slow or to stop responding by tricking a user into following a specially crafted link.

You can fix this vulnerability simply by upgrading to BlackBerry Device Software version 4.2 Service Pack 1 (4.2.1) which can be found here.

3 Possible Relationship Saving BlackBerry Tips

I was just reading an interesting article over on the SouthBendTribune.com website entitled “Saving marriage from the BlackBerry” and it offers 3 tips for keeping your BlackBerry addiction from spilling over into your personal life. I must admit that, at least at some level, I practice all three of these tips.

The first tip is no BlackBerry in the bedroom. My motivation for keeping my BlackBerry out of the bedroom is a bit different than the one suggested in the article, however. The constant blinking light and the random vibration from incoming email drives me nuts. Additionally, keeping my BlackBerry in my bedroom would counteract the benefits of tip number two.

More tips after the jump…

Sending Contact Info Via BlackBerry

Remember the back in the day when you got your first PDA before the BlackBerry took over? One of the coolest things that you could do was “beam” contact information from your device via infra-red to someone else’s device. I believe that I read an article once that said business cards would go the way of the dinosaur. Well, that hasn’t exactly happened, but, being able to beam your adders book to everyone you met at networking events was pretty fun.

As we know, you can’t exactly beam your info to someone since there is no infra-red on the BlackBerry. However, there is a little known feature that easily allows you to exchange contact info with other BlackBerry users.
