This advisory documents a vulnerability in Arista's EOS involving crossing VLAN boundaries in X-series platforms. In EVPN VxLAN setups, specific malformed packets can lead to incorrect MAC to IP bindings, resulting in packets being incorrectly forwarded across VLAN boundaries. This can cause traffic to be discarded on the receiving VLAN. The issue was discovered internally and Arista is not aware of any malicious uses in customer networks.
