Description

Alpine before 2.23 silently proceeds to use an insecure connection after a /tls is sent in certain circumstances involving PREAUTH, which is a less secure behavior than the alternative of closing the connection and letting the user decide what they would like to do.

Affected configurations

• alpine project alpine (< 2.23) • fedoraproject fedora 31 • fedoraproject fedora 32 • debian debian linux 8.0
