CVE-2010-3741
The offline backup mechanism in Research In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry Desktop Software uses single-iteration PBKDF2, which makes it easier for local users to decrypt a .ipd file via a brute-force attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
