Photon microGUI in QNX Neutrino realtime operating system (RTOS) 6.1.0 and 6.2.0 allows attackers to read user clipboard information via a direct request to the 1.TEXT file in a directory whose name is a hex-encoded user ID.

The (1) phrafx and (2) phgrafx-startup programs in QNX realtime operating system (RTOS) 4.25 and 6.1.0 do not properly drop privileges before executing the system command, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by modifying the PATH environment variable to reference a malicious crttrap program.
Multiple buffer overflows in realtime operating system (RTOS) 6.1.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long ABLANG environment variable in phlocale or (2) a long -u option to pkg-installer.
ptrace in the QNX realtime operating system (RTOS) 4.25 and 6.1.0 allows programs to attach to privileged processes, which could allow local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying running processes.
/bin/su in QNX realtime operating system (RTOS) 4.25 and 6.1.0 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from core dump files by sending the SIGSERV (invalid memory reference) signal.
The timer implementation in QNX RTOS 6.1.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code by creating multiple timers with a 1-ms tick.
The crypt function in QNX uses weak encryption, which allows local users to decrypt passwords.
Improper input validation in the PCX image codec in QNX SDP versions 8.0, 7.1 and 7.0 could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition in the context of the process using the image codec.
Out-of-bounds write in the PCX image codec in QNX SDP versions 8.0, 7.1 and 7.0 could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute code in the context of the process using the image codec.
NULL pointer dereference in IP socket options processing of the Networking Stack in QNX Software Development Platform (SDP) version(s) 7.1 and 7.0 could allow an attacker with local access to cause a denial-of-service condition in the context of the Networking Stack process.
Out-of-bounds read in the TIFF image codec in QNX SDP versions 8.0, 7.1 and 7.0 could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause an information disclosure in the context of the process using the image codec.
Off-by-one error in the TIFF image codec in QNX SDP versions 8.0, 7.1 and 7.0 could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause an information disclosure in the context of the process using the image codec.
Out-of-bounds write in the PCX image codec in QNX SDP versions 8.0, 7.1 and 7.0 could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute code in the context of the process using the image codec.
NULL pointer dereference in the PCX image codec in QNX SDP versions 8.0, 7.1 and 7.0 could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition in the context of the process using the image codec.
QNX Embedded Resource Manager in Voyager web server 2.01B in the demo disks for QNX 405 allows remote attackers to read sensitive system statistics information via the embedded.html web page.
Voyager web server 2.01B in the demo disks for QNX 405 stores sensitive web client information in the .photon directory in the web document root, which allows remote attackers to obtain that information.
Directory traversal vulnerability in Voyager web server 2.01B in the demo disks for QNX 405 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) attack.
QNX 2.4 allows a local user to read arbitrary files by directly accessing the mount point for the FAT disk partition, e.g. /fs-dos.
Buffer overflow in QNX RTP 5.60 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary commands via a large number of arguments to the stat 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.
