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:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Attacker can use a specially crafted base64 exchange between Dovecot and Client to fake SCRAM TLS channel binding. This requires that the attacker is able to position itself between Dovecot and the client connection. If successful, the attacker can eavesdrop communications between Dovecot and client as MITM proxy. Install fixed version. No publicly available exploits are known.
