Summary
SSA-514895: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Altair Grid Engine V2025.1.0
Notes
Summary: Altair Grid Engine contain multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code with superuser permissions. Siemens has released a new version for Altair Grid Engine and recommends to update to the latest version.
General Recommendations: As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals. Additional information on Industrial Security by Siemens can be found at: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
Additional Resources: For further inquiries on security vulnerabilities in Siemens products and solutions, please contact the Siemens ProductCERT: https://www.siemens.com/cert/advisories
Terms of Use: The use of Siemens Security Advisories is subject to the terms and conditions listed on: https://www.siemens.com/productcert/terms-of-use.
CWE-209 - Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information
Mitigation For clusters not using the UGERest API/daemon remove the setuid-root bit from the binaries for all architectures: chmod u-s $SGE_ROOT/utilbin/<arch>/authuser.
Vendor Fix Update to V2026.0.0 or later version https://altairone.com/Marketplace
CWE-427 - Uncontrolled Search Path Element
Mitigation For non Windows clusters remove the setuid-root bit from the "sgepasswd" binary for all installed architectures: chmod u-s $SGE_ROOT/bin/<arch>/sgepasswd.
Vendor Fix Update to V2026.0.0 or later version https://altairone.com/Marketplace
