CVE-2020-15114
In etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10, the etcd gateway is a simple TCP proxy to allow for basic service discovery and access.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.21%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10, the etcd gateway is a simple TCP proxy to allow for basic service discovery and access. However, it is possible to include the gateway address as an endpoint. This results in a denial of service, since the endpoint can become stuck in a loop of requesting itself until there are no more available file descriptors to accept connections on the gateway.
