Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to condor announced via advisory FEDORA-2008-7205. Condor is a specialized workload management system for compute-intensive jobs. Like other full-featured batch systems, Condor provides a job queueing mechanism, scheduling policy, priority scheme, resource monitoring, and resource management. Users submit their serial or parallel jobs to Condor, Condor places them into a queue, chooses when and where to run the jobs based upon a policy, carefully monitors their progress, and ultimately informs the user upon completion. Update Information: A flaw was found in a way condor interpreted wild cards in the authorization lists. Certain authorization lists using wild cards in DENY rules (such as DENY_WRITE or HOSTDENY_WRITE) that conflict with with definitions in ALLOW rule could permit authenticated remote users to submit computation jobs, even when such access should have been denied.
