This vulnerability affects customers using Arista Pathfinder for WAN path selection with Border Gateway Protocol-Link State (BGP-LS) configured for Dynamic Path Selection (DPS). On affected platforms running Arista EOS with BGP-LS configured for DPS, an attacker who has established an authenticated BGP-LS session with the device can send a specially crafted BGP packet to cause incorrect WAN path selection and disrupt traffic forwarding.
