Attackers could have obtained ownership of arbitrary files via a symlink-related race condition during execution of library code with UID 0.

CVE-2023-41915

OpenPMIx PMIx before 4.2.6 and 5.0.x before 5.0.1 allows attackers to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via a race condition during execution of library code with UID 0.

For Debian 10 Buster, this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.2-3+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pmix packages.
