Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Dovecot versions prior to 1.0.10

Description The issue is related to the improper maintenance of the LDAP+auth cache when certain configuration options are used, including the use of %variables. This might allow remote authenticated users to login as a different user who has the same password.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.0.10, update to version 1.0.10 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of %variables in the configuration to minimize the risk of exploitation.
