On the affected platforms running EOS, a malformed DHCP packet might cause the DHCP relay agent to restart.

On affected platforms running Arista EOS, an authorized attacker with permissions to perform gNMI requests could craft a request allowing it to update arbitrary configurations in the switch. This situation occurs only when the Streaming Telemetry Agent (referred to as the TerminAttr agent) is enabled and gNMI access is configured on the agent. Note: This gNMI over the Streaming Telemetry Agent scenario is mostly commonly used when streaming to a 3rd party system and is not used by default when streaming to CloudVision

On affected platforms running Arista EOS with SNMP configured, a specially crafted packet can cause a memory leak in the snmpd process. This may result in the snmpd processing being terminated (causing SNMP requests to time out until snmpd is automatically restarted) and potential memory resource exhaustion for other processes on the switch. The vulnerability does not have any confidentiality or integrity impacts to the system.

For certain systems running EOS, a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) packet of a management/signaling message with an invalid Type-Length-Value (TLV) causes the PTP agent to restart. Repeated restarts of the service will make the service unavailable.

In Arista EOS malformed packets can be incorrectly forwarded across VLAN boundaries in one direction. This vulnerability is only susceptible to exploitation by unidirectional traffic (ex. UDP) and not bidirectional traffic (ex. TCP). This affects: EOS 7170 platforms version 4.21.4.1F and below releases in the 4.21.x train; EOS X-Series versions 4.21.11M and below releases in the 4.21.x train; 4.22.6M and below releases in the 4.22.x train; 4.23.4M and below releases in the 4.23.x train; 4.24.2.1F and below releases in the 4.24.x train.

In EVPN VxLAN setups in Arista EOS, specific malformed packets can lead to incorrect MAC to IP bindings and as a result packets can be incorrectly forwarded across VLAN boundaries. This can result in traffic being discarded on the receiving VLAN. This affects versions: 4.21.12M and below releases in the 4.21.x train; 4.22.7M and below releases in the 4.22.x train; 4.23.5M and below releases in the 4.23.x train; 4.24.2F and below releases in the 4.24.x train.
