The CVE-ID tracking this issue: CVE-2023-24548
CVSSv3.1 Base Score: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Common Weakness Enumeration: CWE-120 Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input
This vulnerability is being tracked by BUG 828687
Description
On affected platforms running Arista EOS with VXLAN configured, malformed or truncated packets received over a VXLAN tunnel and forwarded in hardware can cause egress ports to be unable to forward packets. The device will continue to be susceptible to the issue until remediation is in place.
The issue was discovered in an Arista customer environment but Arista is not aware of any malicious uses of this issue in customer networks.

Required Configuration for Exploitation
In order to be vulnerable to CVE-2023-24548, the following three conditions must be met:
IP routing should be enabled:
Switch> show running-config section ip routing ip routing
AND
VXLAN should be configured - a sample configuration is found below:
# Loopback interface configuration switch> show running-config section loopback interface Loopback0 ip address 10.0.0.1/32 # VXLAN VTEP configuration switch> show running-config section vxlan interface Vxlan1 vxlan source-interface Loopback0 vxlan udp-port 4789 vxlan flood vtep 10.0.0.2
AND
VXLAN extended VLAN or VNI must be routable - two examples are shown below:
# Overlay interface switch> show running-config section vlan vlan 100 interface Ethernet1/1 switchport access vlan 100 interface Vlan100 ip address 1.0.0.1/24 Interface Vxlan1 vxlan vlan 100 vni 100000
switch> show running-config section red vrf instance red ip routing vrf red interface Vxlan1 vxlan vrf red vni 200000
Whether such a configuration exists can be checked as follows:
switch> show vxlan vni VNI to VLAN Mapping for Vxlan1 VNI VLAN Source Interface 802.1Q Tag ------------ ---------- ------------ ----------------- ---------- 100000 100 static Ethernet1/1 untagged Vxlan1 100 VNI to dynamic VLAN Mapping for Vxlan1 VNI VLAN VRF Source ------------ ---------- --------- ------------ 200000 1006 red evpn switch> show vlan VLAN Name Status Ports ----- -------------------------------- --------- ------------------------------- 100 VLAN0100 active Cpu, Vx1 1006* VLAN1006 active Cpu, Vx1 switch> show ip interface brief Address Interface IP Address Status Protocol MTU Owner ----------------- --------------------- ------------ -------------- ----------- ------- Vlan100 1.0.0.1/24 up up 1500 Vlan1006 unassigned up up 10168
From the above outputs, it can be seen that IP routing is enabled, VXLAN is configured, and VNIs 100000 (mapped to VLAN 100) and 200000 (mapped to VRF red) are routable.
Indicators of Compromise
This vulnerability causes egress ports to stop passing traffic. An indication of this issue is that the interface counters for the impacted egress interfaces would no longer increment even if packets are forwarded to those ports.
switch > show interfaces counters | nz
Port OutOctets OutUcastPkts OutMcastPkts OutBcastPkts
Et8/1 139851 0 1137 0
We will also see the DeqDeletePktCnt go up in show hardware counter drop.
switch > show hardware counter drop | nz Summary: Total Adverse (A) Drops: 2033 Total Packet Processor (P) Drops: 0 Type Chip CounterName : Count : First Occurrence : Last Occurrence -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Fap0 DeqDeletePktCnt : 2033 : 2023-04-05 10:09:17 : 2023-04-05 10:10:51
In addition, protocols that establish neighbor relationships over the affecting port are likely to be affected.
Mitigation
There is no known mitigation for the issue. The recommended resolution is to upgrade to a remediated software version at your earliest convenience.
