CVE-2006-3941

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Unspecified vulnerability in the daemons for Sun N1 Grid Engine 5.3 and 6.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (grid service shutdown) and possibly execute arbitrary code using buffer overflows via unknown vectors that cause (1) qmaster or (2) execd to terminate.

Risk Assessment

A local user can cause the grid service to shut down, disrupting cluster operations, and potentially execute arbitrary code in the context of the daemon, which could lead to system compromise.

Recommendation

Update Sun N1 Grid Engine to the latest version containing security fixes. Restrict local access to trusted users and monitor for unusual terminations of qmaster and execd processes.
