Advisories for Golang/Go.etcd.io/Etcd/V3 package

Vulnerability type Cryptography Workarounds Refer to the gateway documentation. The vulnerability was spotted due to unclear documentation of how the gateway handles endpoints validation. Detail Secure endpoint validation is performed by the etcd gateway start command when the –discovery-srv flag is enabled. However, as currently implemented, it only validates TCP reachability, effectively allowing connections to an endpoint that doesn't accept TLS connections through the HTTPS URL. The auditors has noted …

Data Validation

Vulnerability type Logging Detail etcd users who have no password can authenticate only through a client certificate. When such users try to authenticate into etcd using the Authenticate endpoint, errors are logged with insufficient information regarding why the authentication failed, and may be misleading when auditing etcd logs.

Etcd v3.5.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via function PageWriter.write in pagewriter.go

Authentication vulnerability found in Etcd-io v.3.4.10 allows remote attackers to escalate privileges via the debug function.

In etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10, it is possible to have an entry index greater then the number of entries in the ReadAll method in wal/wal.go. This could cause issues when WAL entries are being read during consensus as an arbitrary etcd consensus participant could go down from a runtime panic when reading the entry.

The vulnerability was spotted due to unclear documentation of how the gateway handles endpoints validation. Detail The gateway only authenticates endpoints detected from DNS SRV records, and it only authenticates the detected endpoints once.

etcd versions 3.2.x before 3.2.26 and 3.3.x before 3.3.11 is vulnerable to an improper authentication issue when role-based access control (RBAC) is used and client-cert-auth is enabled. If an etcd client server TLS certificate contains a Common Name (CN) which matches a valid RBAC username, a remote attacker may authenticate as that user with any valid (trusted) client certificate in a REST API request to the gRPC-gateway.

A cross-site request forgery flaw was found in etcd 3.3.1 and earlier. An attacker can set up a website that tries to send a POST request to the etcd server and modify a key. Adding a key is done with PUT so it is theoretically safe (can't PUT from an HTML form or such) but POST allows creating in-order keys that an attacker can send.
