iDefense Security Advisory 02.07.06 - Local exploitation of a race condition vulnerability in QNX Neutrino RTOS's (QNX) phfont command allows attackers to gain root privileges. QNX Neutrino RTOS is a real-time operating system designed for use in embedded systems. The problem specifically exists because phfont spawns another command, phfontphf, without proper sanity checking. iDefense has confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities in QNX Neutrino RTOS version 6.2.1. Earlier versions are also suspected to be susceptible to exploitation.
