Vigil@nce - BlackBerry Enterprise Service: information disclosure via activity log files
August 2014 by Vigil@nce
This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/offer
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can trigger an error with Enterprise Instant Messenger
of BlackBerry Enterprise Service, in order to obtain sensitive
information.
Impacted products: BES
Severity: 2/4
Creation date: 14/08/2014
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The BlackBerry Enterprise Service product offers an Instant
Messaging function.
Access to this service requires creation of a communication
session and user authentication. However, in some cases, when an
error occurs at the beginning or the end of session, the server
records in its activity logs the secrets used for communication
encryption or user authentication.
An attacker who can read the activity log files can therefore get
sensitive information.
