DESCRIPTION:
Two security issues have been reported in SLURM, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The security issues are caused due to the slurm and slurmdbd scripts
incorrectly setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This
can be exploited to gain escalated privileges e.g. by tricking a user
into running the scripts in a directory containing a malicious
library.

The security issues are reported in versions prior to 2.1.14.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.1.14.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Raphael Geissert.
