From ${URL} :

>> This vulnerability allows any attacker to spoof certificate
>> fingerprints via crafted SASL messages to the IRCd. This allows any
>> user to login as any other user that they know the certificate
>> fingerprint of, and that user has services configured to accept SASL
>> EXTERNAL login requests for.
>> This bug appears more widespread than just InspIRCd, and seems to
>> affect most or all other implementations of SASL EXTERNAL, including
>> Charybdis and UnrealIRCd.
> It seems to also affect Charybdis, which fixed the issue in the
> upcoming 3.5.3 release:
