Description

A kernel crash can be triggered remotely through the network by certain malformed packets, specifically by sending an IP packet with rarely used packet options to a switch via a routed port. This is a publicly found vulnerability and the exposure is specific to EosKernel-3.4 that was used in the EOS releases noted below. Arista is using an updated Kernel version in all of its recent EOS releases and, as such, those versions are not susceptible to this crash or soft lockup.
