CVE-2011-2193: Multiple buffer overflows in Terascale Open-Source Resource and Queue Manager (aka TORQUE Resource Manager)...

Security readout for executives and security teams

TORQUE Resource Manager contained buffer overflow flaws that could let authenticated cluster users, and possibly local users, gain elevated privileges. The risk is concentrated in environments that used affected TORQUE releases to manage compute jobs. Exposure is likely limited to HPC or cluster environments running affected TORQUE versions. The server-side path requires a remote authenticated user with job submission access. The pbs_iff path concerns local users. Systems not running TORQUE, or already upgraded beyond the listed fixed branches, are not indicated as affected by the bundle. Prioritize remediation where TORQUE manages shared compute resources or untrusted users can submit jobs. Although active exploitation is not evidenced in the provided sources, privilege gain in a resource manager can affect cluster integrity and workload trust. Mitigation focus: Upgrade TORQUE 2.x to 2.4.14 or later.; Upgrade TORQUE 2.5.x to 2.5.6 or later.; Upgrade TORQUE 3.x to 3.0.2 or later..
