Comment 3 David A. Cafaro 2014-08-17 02:54:50 UTC
According to the upstream bug/CVS this was corrected in version 4.2.6.  Fedora 21 is now at torque-4.2.6.1-5.fc21.

Given that Fedora is now at a patched version this bug can be closed.

Sorry, forgot Fedora 20 and 19 are still supported.

Fedora 19 is at version: torque-3.0.4-1.fc17

Fedora 20 is at version: torque-3.0.4-4.fc20

I'll investigate further, sorry.

Comment 5 David A. Cafaro 2014-08-17 19:18:56 UTC
According to upstream the 3.0.x branch is no longer being supported:

http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/support/download-center/torque-download/

Specific fix for this CVE is listed here in the 4.2.6 release notes, but no access to the related jira ticket:

http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/wp-content/uploads/releasenotes/releaseNotes-4.2.6.html
"pbs_user used popen to send mail using the email addresses specified on the command line, which posed a security risk. TORQUE no longer allows you to run root commands in the email portion of qsub (TRQ-2310). CVE 2013-4495"

Comment 6 David A. Cafaro 2014-08-17 19:58:39 UTC
So the patch for 2.5 looks like a close fit for the 3.0.x branch from my initial comparison:
