Debian DSA-1776-1 : slurm-llnl - programming error

high Nessus Plugin ID 36207

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that the Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM), a cluster job management and scheduling system, did not drop the supplemental groups. These groups may be system groups with elevated privileges, which may allow a valid SLURM user to gain elevated privileges.

Solution

Upgrade the slurm-llnl package.

The old stable distribution (etch) does not contain a slurm-llnl package.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.6-1lenny3.
