Security Notice - pppoectl utility incorrectly has suid permission
 
________________________________________________________________________

Applicable Environment
________________________________________________________________________
  • Topic: Security Notice - pppoectl utility incorrectly has suid permission
  • SDP: 6.4.0, 6.4.1, 6.5.0, 6.5.0 SP1
  • Target: Any supported target
________________________________________________________________________

Recommendation
________________________________________________________________________

The pppoectl utility provided with QNX Momentics 6.4.0 through 6.5.0 SP1 incorrectly has suid permission. This could potentially be used to compromise the security of the system.

The recommended course of action is to remove the suid permission of the binary either in your build file by manually forcing the appropriate permissions or by removing them directly on the target system.

For more information please refer to the following documentation.
