CVE-2026-7473

Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS) contains an incomplete comparison with missing factors vulnerability when the switch incorrectly decapsulate and forwards other unexpected tunneled packet with a destination IP matching its configured decapsulation IP.

View on NVD

Analysis

Arista EOS switches are incorrectly decapsulating and forwarding unexpected tunneled packets like VXLAN or GRE when the destination IP matches. This flaw allows for the processing of non-configured tunnel traffic and potentially bypasses network isolation. This vulnerability is currently being actively exploited in the wild.

Technical description

On affected platforms running Arista EOS where a tunnel decapsulation configuration—such as VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN), decap-groups, or a GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel interface—is present, the switch will incorrectly decapsulate and forward other unexpected tunneled packet with a destination IP matching its configured decapsulation IP. This occurs because the switch does not verify the tunnel protocol type, potentially leading to the unexpected processing of non-configured tunnel traffic. This issue has been reported as being exploited in the wild.
