## Description

The tm\_adopt function in lib/Libifl/tm.c in Terascale Open-Source Resource
and Queue Manager (aka TORQUE Resource Manager) 5.0.x, 4.5.x, 4.2.x, and
earlier does not validate that the owner of the process also owns the
adopted session id, which allows remote authenticated users to kill
arbitrary processes via a crafted executable.

### From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that TORQUE Resource Manager does not validate that the
owner of the process also owns the adopted session id. A remote
authenticated attacker could possibly use this to kill arbitrary processes.
