On affected platforms running Arista EOS with MLAG Dual Primary Detection configured, an unauthenticated attacker with access to the Dual Primary Detection network segment can send specially crafted packets to interfere with the dual-primary state. If the MLAG primary switch fails while these packets are present, the secondary switch incorrectly concludes it is in a dual-primary condition and err-disables its interfaces, leading to a traffic interruption.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Arista EOS ausnutzen, um erweiterte Berechtigungen, sogar Administratorrechte, zu erlangen, beliebigen Code, einschließlich Root-Code, auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren oder offenzulegen sowie Denial-of-Service-Zustände herbeizuführen.
