Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6458-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Slurm did not properly handle credential management, which could allow an     unprivileged user to impersonate the SlurmUser account. An attacker could possibly use this issue to     execute arbitrary code as the root user. (CVE-2022-29500)

    It was discovered that Slurm did not properly handle access control when dealing with RPC traffic through     PMI2 and PMIx, which could allow an unprivileged user to send data to an arbitrary unix socket in the     host. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as the root user.
    (CVE-2022-29501)

    It was discovered that Slurm did not properly handle validation logic when processing input and output     data with the srun client, which could lead to the interception of process I/O. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to expose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu     22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-29502)
