How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 dovecot24-backend-pgsql to version 2.4.3-160000.1.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dovecot24-backend-pgsql package and not the dovecot24-backend-pgsql package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

If auth_username_chars is empty, it is possible to inject arbitrary LDAP filter to Dovecot's LDAP authentication. This leads to potentially bypassing restrictions and allows probing of LDAP structure. Do not clear out auth_username_chars, or install fixed version. No publicly available exploits are known.
