When 'dict' passdb and userdb were used for user authentication, the username sent by the IMAP/POP3 client was sent through var_expand() to perform %variable expansion. Sending specially crafted %variable fields could result in excessive memory usage causing the process to crash (and restart), or excessive CPU usage causing all authentications to hang."

Cuando se emplearon los \"dict\" passdb y userdb para la autenticaci\u00f3n de usuarios, el nombre de usuario enviado por el cliente IMAP/POP3 se envi\u00f3 mediante var_expand() para realizar la expansi\u00f3n de %variable. El env\u00edo de campos %variable especialmente manipulados podr\u00eda resultar en un uso excesivo de memoria que provoca que el proceso se cierre inesperadamente (y se reinicie) o en un uso excesivo de CPU que provoca que todas las autenticaciones dejen de responder."
