    Package : pmix
    CVE ID : CVE-2023-41915
    Debian Bug : 1051729

    Francois Diakhate reported that a race condition in pmix, a library implementing Process Management Interface (PMI) Exascale API, could
    allow a malicious user to obtain ownership of an arbitrary file on the filesystem when parts of the PMIx library are called by a process with
    elevated privileges, resulting in privilege escalation. This may
    happen under the default configuration of certain workload managers,
    including Slurm.

    For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed
    in version 4.0.0-4.1+deb11u1.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.2.2-1+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pmix packages.

    For the detailed security status of pmix please refer to its security
    tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/pmix
