QNX ‘ptrace()’ Insecure
The QNX implementation of 'ptrace()' is reportedly insecure. An unprivileged process may attach to a setuid program without restriction. Since the attaching process may view or edit memory, an attacker may exploit this issue to escalate privileges.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to QNX RTOS 6.4.0 or later
