Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dovecot23-backend-pgsql package and not the dovecot23-backend-pgsql package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

A host listed as a trusted proxy can send forwarding information containing a NUL byte, which crashes the login process on the following login attempt. The login process is terminated, which can cause degradation or denial of service for logins. Deployments that do not configure trusted proxies are not affected. Restrict the list of trusted proxy networks to hosts that are fully under your control. Update to non-vulnerable version. No publicly available exploits are known.
