GHSA-468w-8x39-gj5v

Impact

There is a potential vulnerability in Traefik managing the TLS connections.

A router configured with a not well-formatted TLSOption is exposed with an empty TLSOption.

For instance, a route secured using an mTLS connection set with a wrong CA file is exposed without verifying the client certificates.

Patches

• Unknown Client Auth Type:

  {"level":"error","msg":"unknown client auth type \"FooClientAuthType\"","routerName":"Router0@file"}
  

• Invalid cipherSuites

  {"level":"error","msg":"invalid CipherSuite: foobar","routerName":"Router0@file"}
