1) Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-7473)

CWE-ID: CWE-1023 - Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass intended tunnel protocol restrictions and forward unexpected tunneled traffic.

The vulnerability exists due to incomplete comparison with missing factors in tunnel decapsulation processing in Arista EOS when handling tunneled packets addressed to a configured decapsulation IP. A remote attacker can send specially crafted tunneled packets using a non-configured tunnel protocol to bypass intended tunnel protocol restrictions and forward unexpected tunneled traffic.

Exploitation requires the device to be configured as a tunnel endpoint with a decapsulation IP, such as for VXLAN, a GRE tunnel endpoint, or an ip decap-group.

Note, the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild.
