| qnx-rtos-bin-bo (9341) |  High Risk |
Description:
QNX RTOS is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in multiple /bin/ programs. By passing an overly long string to one of the affected binaries, a local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.
The affected binaries are: /bin/du
/bin/ex
/bin/find
/bin/lex
/bin/mkdir
/bin/rm
/bin/sample
/bin/serserv
/bin/tcpserv
/bin/termdef
/bin/time
/bin/unzip
/bin/use
/bin/wcc
/bin/wcc386
/bin/wd
/bin/wdisasm
/bin/which
/bin/wlib
/bin/wlink
/bin/wpp
/bin/wpp386
/bin/wprof
/bin/write
/bin/wstrip
