Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
etcd (Go package github.com/etcd-io/etcd) versions before 3.3.23 and from 3.4.0-rc.0 before 3.4.10 are affected. When etcd creates its data directory or the directory for self-signed TLS certificates, it uses os.MkdirAll with 700 permissions, but existing directories keep their current permissions without being checked. The source does not describe the attacker's position or the exact impact. Upgrade to 3.3.23 or 3.4.10. As a workaround, make sure these directories have 700 permissions.
