Packaging Documentation

Revisions for CV-CUE release process

The following table depicts the latest supported Access Point (AP) release for each CVP release. Refer Wi-Fi Access Point Software Life Cycle Policy for AP Software Life Cycle Policy.

^*CVP releases will always support AP platforms in accordance with the AP platform’s announced EOL policy.

CV-CUE Software Life Cycle

The CV-CUE solution features the Arista Wi-Fi management software for cloud and on-premises deployments. This policy is applicable to on-premises deployments.

The Software Release Policy and Lifecycle defines the various phases of development and support to guide customers in transitioning to newer versions of the product based on the milestones in the lifecycle. Arista Networks will support each major software release train of CV-CUE on-premises up to 24 months from the general availability date for a particular train. The following diagram depicts the release phases and the Arista TAC support mapping across this timeline.

• Major release with new features and functionality
• Active maintenance releases for bug fixes as needed
• TAC support available

• Ongoing TAC support
• Software upgrade required for bug fixes

The following table depicts the CV-CUE on-premises release support matrix, including the timelines for each major software train (based on the 24 month life cycle policy) and includes the current state of support for each train. The CV-CUE software release is effectively integrated within the CVP release train and remains aligned with the CVP release process. Refer Access Point Software Support for supported AP releases.

^*CVP releases will always support AP platforms in accordance with the AP platform’s announced EOL policy.

Wi-Fi Access Point Software Life Cycle Policy

Arista Networks' Access Point (AP) Software Release Policy and Life Cycle guidelines help customers and partners facilitate Access Point  upgrades and plan multi-year infrastructure deployment. Arista will support each major AP software release for 18 months from the date of posting of the last feature release for a particular train.

To assist customers in selecting the right AP software release for their environments, Arista follows a standard naming convention for AP software releases. The naming convention identifies if a particular release is integrating new feature functionality, or has reached software maintenance mode.

Each AP software release is identified with either the letter "F" indicating that the release contains new Functionality or "M", denoting that the release is in the Maintenance phase. An M release only receives incremental fixes and no new functionality is added.

New Feature Phase

• AP software releases will be identified with the letter "F" indicating that the release contains new features/functionality.
• TAC support available 

Maintenance Phase

• AP software release will be identified with the letter "M" for maintenance phase An “M” release only receives incremental fixes and no new functionality is added
• TAC support available

The following diagram depicts the release phases using an example.

The following table depicts the Arista AP release support matrix, including the timelines for each major Arista AP software train (based on the 18 month lifecycle policy) and includes current state of TAC support for each train. As a special case, when an AP platform or a series of platforms (say, 2xx APs) end-of-life (EoL) is announced, the last supported release version (say, 21.2.F) of that platform or series of platforms enjoys maintenance support (existing feature support, vulnerability fixes) for the period of its life from the date of EoL announcement. Refer to the Wi-Fi hardware EoL policy.

All of the CVEs covered in this advisory apply to affected platforms running Arista EOS with the Streaming Telemetry Agent (aka TerminAttr) enabled. This issue primarily affects customers using the Streaming Telemetry Agent to connect to CloudVision or a gNMI server.

All of these issues were discovered internally by Arista and Arista is not aware of any malicious uses of these issues in customer networks.

June 23, 2026

On affected platforms running Arista EOS (Extensible Operating System) configured with next-hop redirection features—such as Policy-Based Routing (PBR), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Flowspec, Traffic Policy, DirectFlow, or Segment Security—certain specific classes of IP packets requiring exception handling may bypass the configured redirection action.

June 16, 2026

The purpose of this advisory is to provide an announcement regarding potential vulnerabilities in Arista Access Points (APs) to the AirSnitch attacks published on February 26, 2026. This new class of attacks devises bypass mechanisms by which client isolation can be broken in Wi-Fi networks. The attacks can only be carried out by a client that is legitimately connected to the network through a Guest Service Set Identifier (SSID) or by a malicious insider. These attacks cannot be launched by devices external to the enterprise network.

June 3, 2026

A user with local eos-admin privileges on affected Arista EOS (Extensible Operating System) platforms where secure boot is enabled can bypass Secure Boot Software Image (SWI) verification through the use of a specially crafted file.

May 19, 2026

On affected Arista platforms running Media Control Service (MCS) on CloudVision eXchange (CVX) or DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF), an authenticated user—one who has already gained access to the system—may be able to trigger a memory corruption condition that can potentially lead to remote code execution.

Note: DMF in its default condition is not affected. The vulnerability is only present in DMF under unusual, user enabled configurations.

May 8, 2026

Arista Networks is providing this security update in response to a recent, publicly disclosed security vulnerability widely known as “Dirty Frag”. Exploitation of this issue allows for an unprivileged local user to gain root access to a device by running an executable binary. Access to an environment where arbitrary code can be executed is required for this vulnerability to be exploitable.
