An issue was found in Arista EOS. Specific malformed ARP packets can impact the software forwarding of VxLAN packets. This issue is found in Arista’s EOS VxLAN code, which can allow attackers to crash the VxlanSwFwd agent. This affects EOS 4.21.8M and below releases in the 4.21.x train, 4.22.3M and below releases in the 4.22.x train, 4.23.1F and below releases in the 4.23.x train, and all releases in 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20 code train.

The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11, and 4.9.x before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action.
