  - HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise through 1.7.4 and 1.8.3 allowed a user with write permission to an     entity alias ID sharing a mount accessor with another user to acquire this other user's policies by     merging their identities. Fixed in Vault and Vault Enterprise 1.7.5 and 1.8.4. (CVE-2021-41802)

  - HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise 0.11.0 up to 1.7.5 and 1.8.4 templated ACL policies would always     match the first-created entity alias if multiple entity aliases exist for a specified entity and mount     combination, potentially resulting in incorrect policy enforcement. Fixed in Vault and Vault Enterprise     1.7.6, 1.8.5, and 1.9.0. (CVE-2021-43998)

  - In HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise before 1.7.7, 1.8.x before 1.8.6, and 1.9.x before 1.9.1, clusters     using the Integrated Storage backend allowed an authenticated user (with write permissions to a kv secrets     engine) to cause a panic and denial of service of the storage backend. The earliest affected version is     1.4.0. (CVE-2021-45042)

  - Vault and Vault Enterprise 1.8.0 through 1.8.8, and 1.9.3 allowed the PKI secrets engine under certain     configurations to issue wildcard certificates to authorized users for a specified domain, even if the PKI     role policy attribute allow_subdomains is set to false.
