Debian DSA-5529-1 : slurm-wlm - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 183306

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5529 advisory.

 Francois Diakhate discovered that several race conditions in file processing of the Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM), a cluster resource management and job scheduling system, could result in denial of service by overwriting arbitrary files. For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 22.05.8-4+deb12u1. In addition slurm-wlm-contrib also needed to be patched in version 22.05.8-4+deb12u1. 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 this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the slurm-wlm packages.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 22.05.8-4+deb12u1.
