>> Condor Buffer Overflow and Multiple Security Bypass Vulnerabilities
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Condor, which could be exploited by attackers or malicious users to bypass security restrictions, disclose sensitive information, cause a denial of service or compromise an affected system.
The first issue is caused by an error in the way the application processes user-submitted jobs, which could be exploited to cause a job to run as a different user with access to the pool.
The second vulnerability is caused by a stack overflow error in the "condor_schedd" daemon, which could allow a malicious user who has permissions to submit a job to "condor_schedd" to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code.
The third issue is caused by an error in the "condor_schedd" daemon when processing user-submitted jobs, which could be exploited to crash an affected daemon, creating a denial of service condition.
The fourth vulnerability is caused by an error in the way the application processes "allow" and "deny" netmasks for access control, which could cause certain rules to be ignored allowing unauthorized access.
