This advisory documents a vulnerability in Arista's EOS, specifically affecting the routing process when malformed packets are received by IS-IS. The vulnerability can cause agent restarts (Rib process or IS-IS process) that could trigger route churn, potentially resulting in traffic loss or incorrect forwarding of traffic. Systems without IS-IS configured are not impacted.
