A few days ago RIM put out a patch for a breach in the BES attachment service. Not to worry BIS users, you are not affected by this issue. If you are on BES and are using:
- BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software version 4.1 Service Pack 3 (4.1.3) through 4.1 Service Pack 6 (4.1.6)
- BlackBerry® Professional Software 4.1 Service Pack 4 (4.1.4)

Here is exactly the issue with the attachment service:
Multiple security vulnerabilities exist in the PDF distiller of some released versions of the BlackBerry Attachment Service. These vulnerabilities could enable a malicious individual to send an email message containing a specially crafted PDF file, which when opened for viewing on a BlackBerry smartphone, could cause memory corruption and possibly lead to arbitrary code execution on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Attachment Service.
