The m_authenticate function in modules/m_sasl.c in UnrealIRCd before 3.2.10.7 and 4.x before 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to spoof certificate fingerprints and consequently log in as another user via a crafted AUTHENTICATE parameter.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
