"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 21.10 / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5509-1 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)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
