etcd: Improper Authentication in auth/store.go:AuthInfoFromTLS() via gRPC-gateway

Published Jan 14, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 8.1 High EPSS 4.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
etcd versions 3.2.x before 3.2.26 and 3.3.x before 3.3.11 are 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.
