[SECURITY] Fedora EPEL 5 Update: gridengine-6.1u4-1.el5.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2012-5590 2012-04-17 23:09:01 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : gridengine Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 6.1u4 Release : 1.el5.1 URL : http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ Summary : Grid Engine - Distributed Computing Management software Description : In a typical network that does not have distributed resource management software, workstations and servers are used from 5% to 20% of the time. Even technical servers are generally less than fully utilized. This means that there are a lot of cycles that can be used productively if only users know where they are, can capture them, and put them to work. Grid Engine finds a pool of idle resources and harnesses it productively, so an organization gets as much as five to ten times the usable power out of systems on the network. That can increase utilization to as much as 98%. Grid Engine software aggregates available compute resources and delivers compute power as a network service. These are the local files shared by both the qmaster and execd daemons. You must install this package in order to use any one of them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - Add env-code-injection, buffer-overflow, and symlink security patches - Update to 6.1u4 - Use alternatives to avoid conflicts with torque (bug #437613) - Add patch to support stricter csh variable handling -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs.
