Description

The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-9a74d212f8 advisory.

 - An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 22.05.x and 23.02.x. There is Incorrect Access Control: an attacker can modified their extended group list that is used with the sbcast subsystem, and open files with an unauthorized set of extended groups. The fixed versions are 22.05.11 and 23.02.7. (CVE-2023-49938)

 - An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 22.05.x, 23.02.x, and 23.11.x. Because of a double free, attackers can cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. The fixed versions are 22.05.11, 23.02.7, and 23.11.1. (CVE-2023-49937)

 - An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 22.05.x, 23.02.x, and 23.11.x. A NULL pointer dereference leads to denial of service. The fixed versions are 22.05.11, 23.02.7, and 23.11.1. (CVE-2023-49936)

 - An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 23.02.x and 23.11.x. There is Incorrect Access Control because of a slurmd Message Integrity Bypass. An attacker can reuse root-level authentication tokens during interaction with the slurmd process. This bypasses the RPC message hashes that protect against undesired MUNGE credential reuse. The fixed versions are 23.02.7 and 23.11.1. (CVE-2023-49935)

 - An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 23.11.x. There is SQL Injection against the SlurmDBD database.
 The fixed version is 23.11.1. (CVE-2023-49934)

 - An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 22.05.x, 23.02.x, and 23.11.x. There is Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel. This allows attackers to modify RPC traffic in a way that bypasses message hash checks. The fixed versions are 22.05.11, 23.02.7, and 23.11.1.
 (CVE-2023-49933)

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