CVE-2023-24511
Last modified
CVE-2023-24511 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. On affected platforms running Arista EOS with SNMP configured, a specially crafted packet can cause a memory leak in the snmpd process. This may result in the snmpd processing being terminated (causing SNMP requests to time out until snmpd is automatically restarted) and potential memory resource exhaustion for other processes on the switch. EPSS estimates a 0.84% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
