How 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.
