[Fix slurmstepd removing files outside the container spool directory when cleaning up an OCI containe, Fix slurmstepd leaving OCI container spool directories behind when ContainerPath contains a task id pattern]

AnalysisAI

Path traversal during OCI container cleanup in Slurm's slurmstepd daemon allows files outside the designated container spool directory to be deleted on the host compute node. Affected clusters are those using Slurm's OCI container support; the bug manifests during job-step teardown, meaning any cluster user who can submit OCI-containerized jobs can trigger deletion of arbitrary files on the compute node. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation OCI container support must be enabled in slurm.conf (ContainerPath and related OCI directives must be configured). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment No vendor-provided CVSS vector is available, so risk must be inferred entirely from the description. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the patch referenced in the Ubuntu vendor report, which includes two fixes: constraining slurmstepd's OCI container cleanup to delete only files within the designated container spool directory, and correcting the spool-directory removal logic when ContainerPath contains a task ID pattern. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
