strings within the slurmdbd. CVE-2018-7033
http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2018-7033
(bsc#1085240).
- Update slurm to v17.11.5 (FATE#325451)
Highlights of 17.11:
* Support for federated clusters to manage a single work-flow
across a set of clusters.
* Support for heterogeneous job allocations (various processor types,
memory sizes, etc. by job component). Support for heterogeneous job
steps within a single MPI_COMM_WORLD is not yet supported for most
configurations.
* X11 support is now fully integrated with the main Slurm code. Remove
any X11 plugin configured in your plugstack.conf file to avoid errors
being logged about conflicting options.
* Added new advanced reservation flag of "flex", which permits jobs
requesting the reservation to begin prior to the reservation's
start time and use resources inside or outside of the reservation.
A typical use case is to prevent jobs not explicitly requesting the
reservation from using those reserved resources rather than forcing
jobs requesting the reservation to use those resources in the time
frame reserved.
* The sprio command has been modified to report a job's priority
information for every partition the job has been submitted to.
* Group ID lookup performed at job submit time to avoid lookup on
all compute nodes. Enable with PrologFlags=SendGIDs configuration
parameter.
* Slurm commands and daemons dynamically link to libslurmfull.so
instead of statically linking. This dramatically reduces the
footprint of Slurm. (forwarded request 587617 from eeich)
