Last modified
CVE-2023-24545 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. On affected platforms running Arista CloudEOS an issue in the Software Forwarding Engine (Sfe) can lead to a potential denial of service attack by sending malformed packets to the switch. This causes a leak of packet buffers and if enough malformed packets are received, the switch may eventually stop forwarding traffic.. EPSS estimates a 0.78% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
