Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-10-03 10:01:45 UTC
From ${URL} :

Chad Vizino reported a flaw in the TORQUE Resource Manager that would allow non-root users to kill 
any process, including root-owned ones on any node in a job:

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q4/75

The fixes in the 4.2 branch appear applicable to the version of TORQUE in Fedora and EPEL:

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

The prior 4.2 ebuild was unstable, probably no need for stabilization.

Thanks for the bump, Justin. 

The 4.2 branch is not stable, so closing noglsa.
