Users should migrate to another package if one is available or wait for the existing packages to be marked stable by their architecture maintainers. Description =========== SUSE reported vulnerabilities due to unspecified errors in OpenPBS. Impact ====== By unspecified attack vectors an attacker might be able execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running openpbs, which might be the root user. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== OpenPBS has been masked in the Portage tree for replacement by Torque.
