Description Alexandros Toptsoglou 2019-01-14 13:00:53 UTC

etcd versions 3.2.0 through 3.3.10 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.

Comment 1 Alexandros Toptsoglou 2019-01-14 13:07:56 UTC

Only version 3.3.1 is affected which is found in the codestream 
SUSE:SLE-12-SP3:Update:Products:CASP30:Update 

The issue is fixed in upstream versions 3.3.11 and 3.2.26. 
Any version before 3.2.0 is not affected

Comment 2 Flavio Castelli 2019-01-30 10:20:26 UTC

Adding the security folks of caasp to CC.

The simplest fix would be to upgrade to etcd 3.3.11

Comment 3 Panagiotis Georgiadis 2019-01-30 13:06:36 UTC

I will update the package to 3.3.11

Comment 4 Panagiotis Georgiadis 2019-01-31 13:45:18 UTC

QA: The package is ready for testing https://build.suse.de/package/show/Devel:CASP:3.0:ControllerNode/etcd

Closing as fixed.
