6.5 MEDIUM

OSPFv3 is link-local, so AV:A is more honest than vendor AV:N; no auth needed (PR:N); crafted packet is low-complexity; impact is availability-only agent restart (C:N/I:N/A:H).

DescriptionCVE.org

On affected platforms running Arista EOS with Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) configured, a specially crafted packet can cause the OSPFv3 agent to restart unexpectedly.

AnalysisAI

Crafted OSPFv3 packets can force an unexpected restart of the OSPFv3 routing agent on Arista EOS devices that have OSPFv3 configured, causing a transient loss of routing adjacencies and traffic disruption. The flaw is an availability-only denial of service (CWE-130 improper handling of length parameters) with no code execution, data disclosure, or persistence; no authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N), but exploitation depends on a preconditioned packet and, per our assessment, an attacker positioned on the same OSPFv3-participating link or adjacency domain rather than arbitrarily across the internet. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the affected Arista EOS device to have OSPFv3 explicitly configured - not a default state, which is the primary limiting factor. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is an availability-only denial-of-service flaw (CWE-130, improper handling of length/count) in the OSPFv3 agent of Arista EOS: a crafted packet causes an unexpected agent restart. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified in the provided data at time of analysis; consult Arista Security Advisory 0173 (https://www.arista.com/en/support/advisories-notices/security-advisory/24729-security-advisory-0173) for the fixed EOS release and upgrade path, and treat the advisory as the authoritative source before deploying any version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, confirm which Arista EOS devices have OSPFv3 configured by running the equivalent of 'show ipv6 ospf' across the fleet, and inventory the exact EOS versions in use against Arista Security Advisory 0173 to establish exposure. …
