The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3881-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Dovecot incorrectly handled client certificates. A remote attacker in possession of     a valid certificate with an empty username field could possibly use this issue to impersonate other users.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
