Description

etcd is a distributed key-value store for the data of a distributed system. Prior to 3.4.44, 3.5.30, and 3.6.11, a vulnerability in etcd allows read access via PrevKv, or lease attachment in Put requests within transaction operations, to bypass RBAC authorization checks. An authenticated user without sufficient read or lease-related permissions may be able to access unauthorized data or attach leases by invoking transaction operations with these features enabled. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.4.44, 3.5.30, and 3.6.11.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 3.4.443.5.0 ≤ v < 3.5.303.6.0 ≤ v < 3.6.11
v ≤ 3.5.29v ≤ 3.6.10v < 3.4.44
Affected range stops below 3.4.44, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
