rh#2082284

An architectural flaw with how credentials are handled can be exploited 
to allow an unprivileged user to impersonate the SlurmUser account. 
Access to the SlurmUser account can be used to execute arbitrary 
processes as root.

This issue impacts all Slurm releases since at least Slurm 1.0.0.

Systems remain vulnerable until all slurmdbd, slurmctld, and slurmd 
processes have been restarted in the cluster.

Once all daemons have been upgraded sites are encouraged to add 
"block_null_hash" to CommunicationParameters. That new option provides 
additional protection against a potential exploit.

Comment 11 Egbert Eich 2022-07-22 10:19:51 UTC

Gabriele, we have been working on these backports - they are hefty and require thorough testing.
Presently, we are blocked by the server room outages where the machines live we need for testing.

Comment 16 Egbert Eich 2022-09-24 09:46:29 UTC

Updates for Slurm 17.11 (SUSE:SLE-15:Update) and 17.02 (SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:GA:Products:Update) have just been pushed:
17.11 - SR#280673
17.02 - SR#280683
This concludes the series of updates.
We will not publish an update for libslurm 16.05 as this doesn't really make sense:
libslurm doesn't provide a library API only, it also provides a wire protocol. The latter has only limited backward compatibility and thus applications built against libslurm for Slurm 16.05 may not work. We have succeeded Slurm 16.05 by 17.02, thus anyone installing Slurm on SLE-12 service packs (or update it) will get 17.02.

We do not ship any package linking against libslurm from Slurm 16.08.
It should be release noted that users who use self-built software linking against this version (libslurm29) should rebuild their software.
