This advisory documents a vulnerability in Arista's CloudVision eXchange (CVX) server affecting the ControllerOob agent. If the CVX server receives a malformed control-plane packet, the ControllerOob agent could crash and restart, potentially causing connection flaps between the CVX server and managed Arista devices. In a High Availability setup, this could trigger a failover of the Master Node. The vulnerability does not directly impact production traffic but could affect the CVX server's ability to manage the network.
