Description

This advisory documents vulnerabilities in Arista's EOS software related to dnsmasq issues that may result in DNS cache poisoning. The impact is that clients querying the EOS switch as a DNS server could receive invalid DNS records. This requires an optional configuration to be set in EOS to allow using the EOS switch as a DNS server. The issue is also known as 'DNSPooq' or 'ICS-VU-668462'.
