Description:
A vulnerability was reported in BlackBerry Desktop Software. A remote user may be able to cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
The Desktop Manager passes an insufficiently qualified path to the Windows operating system when loading an external library. A remote user can exploit this by creating a specially crafted DLL file on a remote share (e.g., WebDAV, SMB share). When the target application is loaded by the target user, the application may load the remote user's DLL instead of the intended DLL and execute arbitrary code. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
This type of exploit is also known as "binary planting" or "DLL preloading".
ACROS Security reported this vulnerability.
