Package : slurm-wlm CVE ID : CVE-2026-65107 CVE-2026-65108 CVE-2026-65109 CVE-2026-65138 CVE-2026-65139 CVE-2026-65140 CVE-2026-65165 Debian Bug : 1146563

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the Slurm Workload Manager, a cluster resource management and job scheduling system, which may result in privilege escalation, SQL injection in the accounting database, deletion of files outside the container spool directory, bypass of credential verification for shared objects transferred with sbcast, or denial of service.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 24.11.5-4+deb13u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your slurm-wlm packages.

For the detailed security status of slurm-wlm please refer to its security tracker page at:
