Description

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5609 advisory.

 - 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.

 (CVE-2023-49933)

 - 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 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)

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