    Summary: Authentication bypass in go.etcd.io/etcd

    Details: A user can use a valid client certificate that contains a CommonName that matches a valid RBAC username to authenticate themselves as that user, despite lacking the required credentials. This may allow authentication bypass, but requires a certificate that is issued by a CA trusted by the server.
