J2ME File System
Newer BlackBerry models (including the Pearl 8100) have traditional file system support, facilitated by the
javax.microedition.io.file package. Applications can enumerate files and directories on the file system,
as well as create, edit, and delete files and directories. Unsigned applications will cause the user to be
prompted to allow access to the file system (Figure 8). The file system can have multiple roots. For exam-
ple, one root for the onboard phone storage, and one for an inserted memory card. Files are addressed using
a URL format. For example:
file:///SDCard/blackberry/pictures/neo.jpg
While .jar or .cod files residing on the J2ME file system can be modified
by an application, no typical user scenario exists where a user will then
subsequently install that .jar or .cod file from the phone or removable
memory card. The existing applications installed on the BlackBerry are
not visible at all to this file system and cannot be modified by it. Also
note that many BlackBerry applications are signed, and modification of
such a signed .cod file will invalidate its signature. Therefore traditional
file infector viruses are not feasible for the BlackBerry, short of the dis-
covery of a new vulnerability. Symantec are not aware of any such vulner-
ability at the time of writing.
USB Mass Storage
When the BlackBerry is plugged into a PC via the USB cable, the user is
given the option of mounting the device as a USB mass storage drive.
Note that the media card must be inserted in order for Mass Storage
mode to be enabled, and only the file system of the media card is accessible in any case. If this option is
selected, the BlackBerry media card file system appears as another drive on the host PC. Users and appli-
cations on the PC can then freely copy files to and from the BlackBerry as easily as any storage drive.
This could result in the BlackBerry accidentally or maliciously being used as a conveyance of malware. For
example threats such as W32.Fujacks.AW

copy themselves to removable drives automatically. Although
