CVSS 3.1
7.7 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2020-15114
High (7.7). EPSS 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in go.etcd.io/etcd 3.3.23, 3.4.10.
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.
