Original report
My community has over 300.000 registered Members and est. 200.000 users daily. When entering joomla, a lot of users get empty sessions. That means, the Session-ID is just "".
If one of these users log in with the empty session, some of the others are also logged in with the same account. They can edit the profile, read/write personal messages etc. That's a huge problem, because no one wants others to enter the profile.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Delete all the cookies, and enter Joomla website.
Expected result
User gets an unique Session-ID.
Actual result
You are logged in as another user and/or share the empty Session-ID with other people. This happens with low likelihood. But if you have lots of users, it happens a lot.
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla: Joomla! 2.5.27 Stable [ Ember ] 30-September-2014 14:00 GMT
Webserver: nginx/1.2.1
Database-version: 5.5.40-0+wheezy1-log
PHP: fpm-fcgi
Additional comments
You can also reproduce this issue, if you change your session-id cookie within browser developer tools.

Thanks to @euismod2336 for pointing out that this is for Joomla 2.5 which is now end of life and unsupported so I am closing this.
