BlackBerry OS <= 7.1 Local Security Bypasses

BlackBerry devices that are Qualcomm-based and running BlackBerry OS prior to version 7.1 are vulnerable to multiple, local security bypass vulnerabilities.

A local attacker, with access to the USB port on the device, can load a modified kernel, make persistent changes between boots, access any data contained on the device, and access any hardware on the device (i.e. camera, microphone, etc.).
