ALL CLUSTERS: Temporary suspension of access and production due to a security vulnerability

Dear Users,

We regret to inform you that, due to the identification of a critical security vulnerability, production activities have been temporarily suspended on all HPC clusters.

As a precautionary measure, a reservation has been applied to all compute nodes to prevent the start of new jobs, and the currently running jobs will be killed. In addition, access to all clusters is temporarily restricted while the necessary mitigation activities are carried out. Access to users’ data will remain available through the cluster datamovers.

Our teams are actively working to implement the required security measures and restore normal operations as quickly as possible.

We will continue to provide updates through HPC-News as further information becomes available.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards,

HPC User Support – CINECA
