Debian DSA-3149-1 : condor - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 81129

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Florian Weimer, of Red Hat Product Security, discovered an issue in condor, a distributed workload management system. Upon job completion, it can optionally notify a user by sending an email; the mailx invocation used in that process allowed for any authenticated user able to submit jobs, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the condor user.

Solution

Upgrade the condor packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 7.8.2~dfsg.1-1+deb7u3.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 8.2.3~dfsg.1-6.
