Title:Dovecot 1.1.0 - 2.2.36 and 2.3.0 - 2.3.4 Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
Summary:Dovecot is prone to an authentication bypass vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Dovecot is prone to an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:

Vulnerability Impact:

to login as anyone else in the system.

Affected Software/OS:
Dovecot versions 1.1.0 through 2.2.36 and 2.3.0 through 2.3.4.

Solution:
Update to version 2.2.36.1 or 2.3.4.1 respectively.
