How to Fix GHSA-pm3m-32r3-7mfh

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 fixed: 3.4.10 
Upgrade go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 to 3.4.10
go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 fixed: 3.3.23 
Upgrade go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 to 3.3.23
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for go.etcd.io/etcd/v3

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-pm3m-32r3-7mfh, inspect your project dependencies for Go.etcd.io/etcd/v3:

inspect dependencies for go.etcd.io/etcd/v3

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Go.etcd.io/etcd/v3 in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.4.10), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Go.etcd.io/etcd/v3, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact Data Validation ### Detail The parseCompactionRetention function in embed/etcd.go allows the retention variable value to be negative and causes the node to execute the history compaction in a loop, taking more CPU than usual and spamming logs. ### References Find out more on this vulnerability in the [security audit report](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/master/security/SECURITY_AUDIT.pdf) ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Contact the [etcd security committee](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/master/security/security-release-process.md#product-security-committee-psc)
