high Nessus Plugin ID 162415

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5166 advisory.

 Two security issues were discovered in the Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM), a cluster resource management and job scheduling system, which could result in privilege escalation. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 20.11.7+really20.11.4-2+deb11u1. 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: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/slurm-wlm

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 slurm-wlm packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 20.11.7+really20.11.4-2+deb11u1.
