Kernel crash via unvalidated SchedGet parameter
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Improper parameter handling in affected BlackBerry QNX products allows local users to crash the QNX Neutrino kernel through SchedGet(). SchedGet() fails to validate an unspecified system-call parameter before the kernel processes it; BlackBerry has not disclosed the exact parameter or failure path. Local access is required, but no application authentication or user interaction is required, and the reported consequence is a kernel crash.
