How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 dovecot23-fts-lucene to version 2.3.3-8.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dovecot23-fts-lucene package and not the dovecot23-fts-lucene package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Dovecot before 2.2.36.4 and 2.3.x before 2.3.7.2 (and Pigeonhole before 0.5.7.2), protocol processing can fail for quoted strings. This occurs because '\0' characters are mishandled, and can lead to out-of-bounds writes and remote code execution.
