            Bug ID: 1371984
           Summary: /usr/lib/erlang/lib/p1_pam-1.0.0/priv/bin/epam needs
                    to be installed setuid root
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 24
         Component: erlang-p1_pam
          Severity: high

The epam binary needs to be installed setuid root so that it can read
/etc/shadow for pam authentication. This is documented upstream at
https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/guide/configuration/#pam-authentication. The
version of ejabberd distributed with Fedora 22 and Fedora 23 had a patch to
install this binary this way, but that patch was dropped when we released
Fedora 24.

This bug was originally reported in the comments of #1337216[0].
