CVE-2020-15115 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:unstable etcd to version 3.3.25+dfsg-5 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream etcd package and not the etcd package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10 does not perform any password length validation, which allows for very short passwords, such as those with a length of one. This may allow an attacker to guess or brute-force users' passwords with little computational effort.
