DescriptionCVE.org

On affected platforms running Arista EOS with VRRPv2 IP Authentication Header (IP-AH) authentication configured, an unauthenticated attacker with access to the layer 2 network segment on which VRRP is running could bypass VRRP authentication and claim the virtual router master role, enabling the attacker to intercept, modify, or discard traffic that hosts on the segment send to the virtual gateway address.

AnalysisAI

VRRPv2 IP Authentication Header (IP-AH) authentication can be bypassed in affected versions of Arista EOS, allowing an unauthenticated attacker on the same Layer 2 segment as the VRRP group to impersonate the virtual router master. Successful takeover lets the attacker intercept, modify, or discard traffic that hosts send to the virtual gateway IP, effectively hijacking the default gateway for that VLAN. …
