Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0035-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0035-01 – HTCondor is a specialized workload management system for compute-intensive jobs. It provides a job queuing mechanism, scheduling policy, priority scheme, and resource monitoring and management. The HTCondor scheduler can optionally notify a user of completed jobs by sending an email. Due to the way the daemon sent the email message, authenticated users able to submit jobs could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the condor user. This issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red Hat Product Security.
