Synopsis: Moderate: condor security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:1172-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise MRG for RHEL-6

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1172.html

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated condor packages that fix one security issue are now available for

Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.3 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in

the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

MRG Grid Execute Node for RHEL 6 ComputeNode v.2 - x86_64

MRG Grid Execute Node for RHEL 6 Server v.2 - i386, x86_64

MRG Grid for RHEL 6 Server v.2 - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

HTCondor is a specialized workload management system for compute-intensive

jobs. It provides a job queuing mechanism, scheduling policy, priority

scheme, and resource monitoring and management.

 

A denial of service flaw was found in the way HTCondor's policy definition

evaluator processed certain policy definitions. If an administrator used an

attribute defined on a job in a CONTINUE, KILL, PREEMPT, or SUSPEND

condor_startd policy, a remote HTCondor service user could use this flaw to

cause condor_startd to exit by submitting a job that caused such a policy

definition to be evaluated to either the ERROR or UNDEFINED states.

(CVE-2013-4255)

 

Note: This issue did not affect the default HTCondor configuration.

 

This issue was found by Matthew Farrellee of Red Hat.

 

All Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.3 users are advised to upgrade to these

updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

HTCondor must be restarted for the update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
