high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 432847

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10, the etcd gateway is a simple TCP proxy to allow for basic
 service discovery and access. However, it is possible to include the gateway address as an endpoint. This
 results in a denial of service, since the endpoint can become stuck in a loop of requesting itself until
 there are no more available file descriptors to accept connections on the gateway. (CVE-2020-15114)
