Multiple security issues were discovered in the Simple Linux Utility
for Resource Management (SLURM), a cluster resource management and job
scheduling system, which could result in denial of service,
information disclosure or privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-12838

SchedMD Slurm allows SQL Injection.

CVE-2020-12693

In the rare case where Message Aggregation is enabled, Slurm
allows Authentication Bypass via an Alternate Path or Channel. A
race condition allows a user to launch a process as an arbitrary
user.

CVE-2020-27745

RPC Buffer Overflow in the PMIx MPI plugin.

CVE-2021-31215

SchedMD Slurm allows remote code execution as SlurmUser because
use of a PrologSlurmctld or EpilogSlurmctld script leads to
environment mishandling.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
16.05.9-1+deb9u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your slurm-llnl packages.
