Vulnerability CVE-2020-15114


Published: 2020-08-06   Modified: 2020-08-07

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.

Type:

CWE-400

(Uncontrolled Resource Consumption ('Resource Exhaustion'))
