SCA: security update for github.com/etcd-io/etcd (GHSA-chh6-ppwq-jh92)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 434347

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, certain directory paths are created (etcd data directory and
 the directory path when provided to automatically generate self-signed certificates for TLS connections
 with clients) with restricted access permissions (700) by using the os.MkdirAll. This function does not
 perform any permission checks when a given directory path exists already. A possible workaround is to
 ensure the directories have the desired permission (700). (CVE-2020-15113)
