Major security patch for CVE-2023-41915 in prrte on Fedora 39 tackles race condition vulnerabilities.
Security fix for CVE-2023-41915

Summary

PRRTE is the PMIx Reference Run Time Environment.

The project is formally referred to in documentation by "PRRTE", and

the GitHub repository is "openpmix/prrte".

However, we have found that most users do not like typing the two

consecutive "r"s in the name. Hence, all of the internal API symbols,

environment variables, MCA frameworks, and CLI executables all use the

abbreviated "prte" (one "r", not two) for convenience.
