NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jabberd2 package and not the jabberd2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Gentoo net-im/jabberd2 package through 2.6.1 sets the ownership of /var/run/jabber to the jabber account, which might allow local users to kill arbitrary processes by leveraging access to this account for PID file modification before a root script executes a "kill -TERM cat /var/run/jabber/filename.pid" command.
