  • as a self-hosted QNX Neutrino development system
  • Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 32- and 64-bit, Vista Business 32- and 64-bit, XP Professional SP3, or 2000 SP4

What's in this patch?

This patch fixes a kernel security issue. Once you have installed the patch, you will need to build a new ifs image with the new kernel. (You do not need to re-compile or re-link.)

In addition, this update (Patch ID 4703) includes a dedicated set of kernel and runtime binaries, compiled specifically for the ppcbe-spe target architecture (for PowerPC SoCs that contain Signal Processing Engine extensions). The previous SDP 6.5 SP1 Kernel and LibC Patch (Patch ID 4668) did not include binaries to support this target. This update (Patch ID 4703) also includes those changes from the previous patch (Patch ID 4668) for this target.
