  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>An attacker could possibly escalate privileges by owning system binaries
      in trusted locations, cause a Denial of Service condition by manipulating
      the PID file from jabberd2 services, bypass security via SASL ANONYMOUS
      connections or have other unspecified impacts.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>Gentoo has discontinued support for JabberD 2.x and recommends that
      users unmerge the package:
    </p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --unmerge "net-im/jabberd2"
    </code>
    
    <p>As an alternative, users may want to upgrade their systems to use
      net-im/prosody instead of net-im/jabberd2.
