x/vulndb: potential Go vuln in github.com/etcd-io/etcd: CVE-2020-15114

[tatianab]

CVE-2020-15114 references github.com/etcd-io/etcd, which may be a Go module.

Description:
In etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10, the etcd gateway is a simple TCP proxy to allow for basic service discovery and access. However, it is possible to include the gateway address as an endpoint. This results in a denial of service, since the endpoint can become stuck in a loop of requesting itself until there are no more available file descriptors to accept connections on the gateway.
