Description

TORQUE Resource Manager contains an error in its implementation of MUNGE authentication. The error allows for users to impersonate other users on the system. Since MUNGUE creates a level of trust among resources, impersonating users may grant access to many more resources and privileges on a TORQUE system than an attacker would normally gain with single user accounts.
