identified with the Email application shipped with HP/Palm webOS. These
vulnerabilities could be exploited to allow potential execution of arbitrary
code or lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
A potential security vulnerability has been identified in HP/Palm webOS which
may allow malicious Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) applications to gain
unauthorized file system write access, thereby allowing them to overwrite
sensitive files and potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
