    Package : torque
    Vulnerability : arbitrary code execution
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2013-4495
    Debian Bug : 729333

    Matt Ezell from Oak Ridge National Labs reported a vulnerability in
    torque, a PBS-derived batch processing queueing system.

    A user could submit executable shell commands on the tail of what is
    passed with the -M switch for qsub. This was later passed to a pipe,
    making it possible for these commands to be executed as root on the
    pbs_server.

    For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.8+dfsg-9squeeze3.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.4.16+dfsg-1+deb7u2.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.4.16+dfsg-1.3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your torque packages.
