Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Gentoo net-im/jabberd2 versions through 2.6.1
Description:
The issue allows local users to potentially gain privileges by leveraging access to the jabber account and waiting for root to execute one of the installed programs, including jabberd, jabberd2-c2s, jabberd2-router, jabberd2-s2s, and jabberd2-sm.

For Gentoo net-im/jabberd2 versions through 2.6.1, consider changing the ownership of the installed programs from the jabber account to a more secure account to prevent local users from gaining privileges.
