Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2770-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'torque' package(s) announced via the DSA-2770-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'torque' package(s) announced via the DSA-2770-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: John Fitzpatrick of MWR InfoSecurity discovered an authentication bypass vulnerability in torque, a PBS-derived batch processing queueing system. The torque authentication model revolves around the use of privileged ports. If a request is not made from a privileged port then it is assumed not to be trusted or authenticated. It was found that pbs_mom does not perform a check to ensure that connections are established from a privileged port. A user who can run jobs or login to a node running pbs_server or pbs_mom can exploit this vulnerability to remotely execute code as root on the cluster by submitting a command directly to a pbs_mom daemon to queue and run a job. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.8+dfsg-9squeeze2. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.16+dfsg-1+deb7u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your torque packages. Affected Software/OS: 'torque' package(s) on Debian 6, Debian 7. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 9.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C
