A third-party installer generation tool, possibly BitRock InstallBuilder, as used in products including Process-one ejabberd 1.1.1_1 and earlier, generates an installer that allows local users to cause a denial of service via a symlink attack on the bitrock_installer.log temporary file. NOTE: it is possible that this vulnerability is present in other products that use this installer.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-2221 is an old local denial-of-service issue in installers generated by a third-party tool, possibly BitRock InstallBuilder. A local user could abuse the installer log file during installation. Business urgency is usually low unless legacy installers are still run on shared or multi-user systems. Exposure is most likely where legacy ejabberd installers or other old BitRock InstallBuilder-generated installers are still used, especially on systems with local untrusted users. Internet-facing services are not the primary exposure described. Treat as a legacy hygiene issue, not an emergency, unless affected installers remain in operational workflows. Prioritize inventory and replacement where privileged installation occurs on shared hosts. Mitigation focus: Prefer current vendor installers and packages over legacy affected installers.; Check vendor guidance for ejabberd and any InstallBuilder-generated products.; Avoid running legacy installers on shared systems with untrusted local users..
