CVE-2020-15114

Denial of Service in etcd

Published Aug 6, 2020 CVSS 3.1 · 7.7 High EPSS 1.1% KEV · Not listed
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.
