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.

{"level":"error","msg":"invalid certificate(s) content","routerName":"Router0@file"}
- Unknown Client Auth Type:
{"level":"error","msg":"unknown client auth type \"FooClientAuthType\"","routerName":"Router0@file"}
