DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Oracle Grid Engine, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated
privileges and by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An unspecified error within the qrsh component can be exploited by
authenticated users to execute arbitrary code.

2) An unspecified error within the sgepasswd component can be
exploited by local users to gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 6.1 and 6.2.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches (please see the vendor's advisory for details).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
It is currently unclear who reported these vulnerabilities as the
Oracle Critical Patch Update for April 2012 only provides a bundled
list of credits. This section will be updated when/if the original
reporter provides more information.
