"The version of dovecot installed on the remote host is prior to 2.2.36-6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2365 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in the auth component in Dovecot 2.2 and 2.3 before 2.3.20. When two passdb
    configuration entries exist with the same driver and args settings, incorrect username_filter and
    mechanism settings can be applied to passdb definitions. These incorrectly applied settings can lead to an
    unintended security configuration and can permit privilege escalation in certain configurations. The
    documentation does not advise against the use of passdb definitions that have the same driver and args
    settings. One such configuration would be where an administrator wishes to use the same PAM configuration
    or passwd file for both normal and master users but use the username_filter setting to restrict which of
    the users is able to be a master user. (CVE-2022-30550)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
