Title:InspIRCd < 2.0.23 'm_sasl' Module SASL_EXTERNAL Authentication Spoofing Vulnerability
Summary:InspIRCd is prone to an authentication spoofing vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
InspIRCd is prone to an authentication spoofing vulnerability.

any other user that they know the certificate fingerprint of, and that user has services
configured to accept SASL EXTERNAL login requests for.

InspIRCd versions before 2.0.23.

Solution:
Update to version 2.0.23 or later.
