Description

All of the CVEs covered in this advisory apply to affected platforms running Arista EOS with the Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD) feature configured.

These issues were discovered internally by Arista, and the company is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability in customer networks.

CVE-2026-121294

On affected platforms running Arista EOS with a S-BFD reflector proxy configured, an unauthenticated attacker could send a crafted S-BFD Protocol Data Unit (PDU) that might cause the device to temporarily cease reflecting S-BFD packets, potentially resulting in S-BFD session timeouts.

CVSSv3.1 Base Score: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVSSv4.0 Base Score: 6.9 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N)
Common Weakness Enumeration: CWE-1284: Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input
This vulnerability is being tracked by BUG 1964292

CVE-2026-121295

On affected platforms running Arista EOS configured as S-BFD peers, an unauthenticated attacker could send a crafted S-BFD PDU to an initiator device. This crafted PDU could cause the kernel on the initiator device to crash, resulting in an unexpected device reboot.

CVSSv3.1 Base Score: 8.6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVSSv4.0 Base Score: 9.2 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:H)
Common Weakness Enumeration: CWE-1284: Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

Required Configuration for Exploitation

CVE-2026-121294

In order to be vulnerable to CVE-2026-121294, the following condition must be met:

 

The S-BFD reflector proxy must be enabled. To check whether this configuration is active, run the following command:

 

switch#show running-config section sbfd
router bfd
   sbfd
      reflector local-discriminator <DISC> proxy
 

 

If the output includes a reflector local-discriminator command with the proxy keyword, the device is exposed to this issue. If the proxy keyword is absent, or if no S-BFD reflector is configured, the device is not exposed to this issue.

CVE-2026-121295

 

In order to be vulnerable to CVE-2026-121295, the following condition must be met:

The S-BFD initiator round-trip delay measurement feature must be enabled. To confirm whether this configuration is active, run the following command:

switch#show running-config section sbfd
router bfd
   sbfd
      initiator measurement delay round-trip
 

If the output includes the initiator measurement delay round-trip command, the device is exposed to this issue. If this command is absent, the device is not exposed to this issue.

Indicators of Compromise

No indicators of compromise exist for both the issues.

Mitigation

No mitigation is available for both the issues.
