An attacker could possibly escalate privileges by owning system |
50 |
binaries in trusted locations, cause a Denial of Service condition by |
51 |
manipulating the PID file from jabberd2 services, bypass security via |
52 |
SASL ANONYMOUS connections or have other unspecified impacts. |

Resolution |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
Gentoo has discontinued support for JabberD 2.x and recommends that |
63 |
users unmerge the package: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --unmerge "net-im/jabberd2" |
66 |
|
67 |
As an alternative, users may want to upgrade their systems to use |
68 |
net-im/prosody instead of net-im/jabberd2. |
