SUSE SLED15 / SLES15 Security Update : slurm (SUSE-SU-2019:2989-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 131124

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for slurm fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

CVE-2019-12838: Fixed an SQL injection (bsc#1140709).

Non-security issue fixed: Added X11-forwarding (bsc#1153245).

Moved srun from 'slurm' to 'slurm-node': srun is required on the nodes as well so sbatch will work. 'slurm-node' is a requirement when 'slurm' is installed (bsc#1153095).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

To install this SUSE Security Update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like YaST online_update or 'zypper patch'.
