CVE 5.8 MEDIUM

Arista EOS Unexpected Tunnel Protocol Decapsulation and Forwarding Bypass_CVE-2026-7473

5.8 / 10
MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N

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.
