Tracker summary

CVE-2017-18226 low priority: Debian including 1 source packages (jabberd2), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): open 5.

Description:

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.
