    Package : gridengine
    Vulnerability : privilege escalation
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-0208

    Dave Love discovered that users who are allowed to submit jobs to a
    Grid Engine installation can escalate their privileges to root because
    the environment is not properly sanitized before creating processes.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 6.2u5-1squeeze1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 6.2u5-6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gridengine packages.
