CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The policy definition evaluator in Condor 7.5.4, 8.0.0, and earlier does not properly handle attributes in a (1) PREEMPT, (2) SUSPEND, (3) CONTINUE, (4) WANT_VACATE, or (5) KILL policy that evaluate to an Unconfigured, Undefined, or Error state, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (condor_startd exit) via a crafted job.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2013-4255 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
