It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-8998 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: BlackBerry QNX Software Development Platform (QNX SDP). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8998/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8998/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-8998","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8998/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-8998","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6fpp-3m7q-q8jc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"QNX Software Development Platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can gain unauthorized access to process address space via procfs, potentially leading to local privilege escalation on QNX systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"blackberry","cpe":[{"product":"qnx_software_development_platform","vendor":"blackberry"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-413","name":"Improper Resource Locking"}],"description":"An information disclosure vulnerability leading to a potential local escalation of privilege in the procfs service (the /proc filesystem) of BlackBerry QNX Software Development Platform version(s) 6.5.0 SP1 and earlier could allow an attacker to potentially gain unauthorized access to a chosen process address space.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Information disclosure in QNX Software Development Platform (QNX SDP)","id":"CVE-2019-8998","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"XML external entity in BlackBerry UEM","id":"CVE-2019-8999"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"An XML External Entity Injection (XXE) vulnerability in the Management System (console) of BlackBerry AtHoc versions earlier than 7.6 HF-567","id":"CVE-2019-8997"},"products":["QNX Software Development Platform (QNX SDP)"],"published":"2019-07-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Path traversal in QNX Software Development Platform (SDP)","id":"CVE-2020-6932","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Vulnerability in PCX Image Codec Impacts QNX Software Development Platform","id":"CVE-2025-2474","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Vulnerabilities in TIFF and PCX Image Codecs Impact QNX Software Development Platform","id":"CVE-2024-48856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in QNX Software Development Platform (SDP)","id":"CVE-2021-32024","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-13"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in QNX Software Development Platform (QNX SDP)","id":"CVE-2017-3891","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-14"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Vulnerability in SGI Image Codec Impacts BlackBerry QNX Software Development Platform (SDP)","id":"CVE-2024-35213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-22","vendors":["BlackBerry"]},"summary":"An attacker can gain unauthorized access to process address space via procfs, potentially leading to local privilege escalation on QNX systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8998/"}
