This may happen under the default configuration of certain workload managers, including Slurm.
For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.0-4.1+deb11u1.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.2-1+deb12u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your pmix packages.
For the detailed security status of pmix please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references]");
