RIM Patches 4th BES PDF Vulnerability in Less Than 12 Months
This is really starting to get ridiculous. I know many companies that have just disabled the PDF distiller on the BES server this past year and never plan on re-enabling it. That is exactly what RIM recommends every time one of these vulnerabilities are identified. RIM has just patched the 4th PDF Distiller vulnerability they have had since the first one on July 10th. Anybody noticing a trend here? Is RIM going to finally overhaul the PDF Distiller instead of patching it every few months?
