<define-tag description>LTS security update</define-tag>
<define-tag moreinfo>

<p>It was discovered that there was an arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability
in pmix, a library used in parallel/cluster computing. Attackers could have
obtained ownership of arbitrary files via a symlink-related race condition
during execution of library code with UID 0.</p>

<ul>

<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2023-41915">CVE-2023-41915</a>

    <p>OpenPMIx PMIx before 4.2.6 and 5.0.x before 5.0.1 allows attackers to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via a race condition during execution of library code with UID 0.</p></li>

</ul>

<p>For Debian 10 <q>Buster</q>, this problem has been fixed in version
3.1.2-3+deb10u1.</p>

<p>We recommend that you upgrade your pmix packages.</p>
