Debian DSA-5144-1 : condor - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 161436

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5144 advisory.

Several flaws have been discovered in HTCondor, a distributed workload management system, which allow users with only READ access to any daemon to use a different authentication method 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 and submit or remove jobs. For the oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 8.6.8~dfsg.1-2+deb10u1. 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

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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

Solution

Upgrade the condor packages.
