The runtime linker in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.5.0 before Service Pack 1 does not properly clear the LDDEBUGOUTPUT and LDDEBUG environment variables when a program is spawned from a setuid program, which allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.
Race condition in phfont in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.2.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified manipulations of the PHFONT and PHOTON2PATH environment variables.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.3.0 allow local users to execute arbitrary code via long (1) ABLPATH or (2) ABLANG environment variables in the libAP library (libAp.so.2) or (3) a long PHOTONPATH environment variable to the setitem function in the libph library.
QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.3.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) by supplying a "break 0xb032d59f" command to gdb.
QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.3.0 ships /etc/rc.d/rc.local with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to modify the file and execute arbitrary code at system startup.
Multiple buffer overflows in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.2.0 allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a long first argument to the (1) su or (2) passwd commands.
Format string vulnerability in fontsleuth in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.3.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the zeroth argument (program name).
Untrusted search path vulnerability in the crttrap command in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.2.1 allows local users to load arbitrary libraries via a LDLIBRARYPATH environment variable that references a malicious library.
The dhcp.client program for QNX 4.25 vmware is setuid, possibly by default, which allows local users to modify the NIC configuration and conduct other attacks.
Buffer overflow in phgrafx in QNX 6.2.1 and 6.3.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long command line argument.
The inputtrap utility in QNX RTOS 6.1.0, 6.3, and possibly earlier versions does not properly check permissions when the -t flag is specified, which allows local users to read arbitrary files.
Multiple buffer overflows in the PPPoE daemon (PPPoEd) in QNX RTP 6.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the (1) -F, (2) name, (3) en, (4) upscript, (5) downscript, (6) retries, (7) timeout, (8) scriptdetach, (9) noscript, (10) nodetach, (11) remotemac, or (12) localmac flags.
Untrusted execution path vulnerability in the PPPoE daemon (PPPoEd) in QNX RTP 6.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary programs by modifying the PATH environment variable to point to a malicious mount program.
A race condition in crrtrap for QNX RTP 6.1 allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the PATH environment variable to reference a malicious io-graphics program before is executed by crrtrap.
Multiple buffer overflows in (1) phrelay-cfg, (2) phlocale, (3) pkg-installer, or (4) input-cfg in QNX Photon microGUI for QNX RTP 6.1 allow local users to gain privileges via a long -s (server) command line parameter.
Format string vulnerability in QNX 6.1 FTP client allows remote authenticated users to gain group bin privileges via format string specifiers in the QUOTE command.
Multiple buffer overflows in QNX 4.25 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line arguments to (1) sample, (2) ex, (3) du, (4) find, (5) lex, (6) mkdir, (7) rm, (8) serserv, (9) tcpserv, (10) termdef, (11) time, (12) unzip, (13) use, (14) wcc, (15) wcc386, (16) wd, (17) wdisasm, (18) which, (19) wlib, (20) wlink, (21) wpp, (22) wpp386, (23) wprof, (24) write, or (25) wstrip.
