CVE-2018-16886

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.

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.

A user can use a valid client certificate that contains a CommonName that matches a valid RBAC username to authenticate themselves as that user, despite lacking the required credentials. This may allow authentication bypass, but requires a certificate that is issued by a CA trusted by the server.

etcd, en sus versiones 3.2.x anteriores a la 3.2.26 y versiones 3.3.x anteriores a la 3.3.11, es vulnerable a una autorización incorrecta cuando se emplea un control de acceso basado en roles (RBAC) y client-cert-auth se encuentra habilitado. Si un certificado TLS del servidor etcd del cliente contiene un "Common Name" (CN) que coincide con un nombre de usuario RBAC válido, un atacante remoto podría autenticarse como dicho usuario con cualquier certificado (confiable) del cliente en una petición REST API en gRPC-gateway.
