Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:0284-1 advisory.

- An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 22.05.x, 23.02.x, and 23.11.x. There is Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel. This allows attackers to modify RPC traffic in a way that bypasses message hash checks. The fixed versions are 22.05.11, 23.02.7, and 23.11.1.
(CVE-2023-49933)

- An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 23.02.x and 23.11.x. There is Incorrect Access Control because of a slurmd Message Integrity Bypass. An attacker can reuse root-level authentication tokens during interaction with the slurmd process. This bypasses the RPC message hashes that protect against undesired MUNGE credential reuse. The fixed versions are 23.02.7 and 23.11.1. (CVE-2023-49935)

- An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 22.05.x, 23.02.x, and 23.11.x. A NULL pointer dereference leads to denial of service. The fixed versions are 22.05.11, 23.02.7, and 23.11.1. (CVE-2023-49936)

- An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 22.05.x, 23.02.x, and 23.11.x. Because of a double free, attackers can cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. The fixed versions are 22.05.11, 23.02.7, and 23.11.1. (CVE-2023-49937)

- An issue was discovered in SchedMD Slurm 22.05.x and 23.02.x. There is Incorrect Access Control: an attacker can modified their extended group list that is used with the sbcast subsystem, and open files with an unauthorized set of extended groups. The fixed versions are 22.05.11 and 23.02.7. (CVE-2023-49938)
