Descriptions

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.

Alpine versiones anteriores a 2.23, silenciosamente procedió a usar una conexión no segura después de que un /tls se envía en determinadas circunstancias que involucran a PREAUTH, que es un comportamiento menos seguro que la alternativa de cerrar la conexión y dejar que el usuario decida lo que le gustaría hacer
