Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Ant Media Server (io.antmedia:ant-media-server) versions 2.6.0 up to but not including 2.9.0 are vulnerable to local privilege escalation. A local operating system user with no privileges can connect to the unauthenticated JMX service on localhost port 5599 and load a remote MBean from an attacker-controlled server, running code as the antmedia service account and potentially gaining root. Upgrade to version 2.9.0. The source describes a workaround involving removing JMX parameters from the antmedia.service file, but it gives no details on the exact change.
