Rated as : Moderate Risk
Remotely Exploitable : Yes Locally Exploitable : Yes Release Date : 2008-08-14
Technical Description
A vulnerability has been identified in Red Hat Enterprise MRG, which could be exploited by malicious users to bypass security restrictions. This issue is caused by an error in the way Condor interpreted wildcards in certain authorization lists using wildcards in DENY rules, such as DENY_WRITE or HOSTDENY_WRITE, that conflict with the definitions in ALLOW rules, which could allow authenticated remote users to submit computation jobs, even when such access should have been denied.
