Summary

NVIDIA Slurm versions from 25.05.0 through 25.05.8, from 25.11.0 through 25.11.7, and from 26.05.0 through 26.05.3 are affected. The slurmstepd socket handling code has a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) where attacker-controlled data writes past a heap buffer. A local user with low privileges can trigger it, and the impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability is high.
