Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-2724 advisory.

HTCondor, a distributed workload management system, has Incorrect Access Control. It is possible to use a different authentication method to submit a job than the administrator has specified. If the administrator has configured the READ or WRITE methods to include CLAIMTOBE, then it is possible to impersonate another user to the condor_schedd, for example to submit or remove jobs. For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 8.4.11~dfsg.1-1+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your condor packages. For the detailed security status of condor please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/condor Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
