Frequently Asked Questions

Does an attacker need credentials to exploit this issue?

No. Exploitation is described as possible for an unauthenticated attacker, but the attacker must be adjacent to the affected device.

What network capability does an attacker need?

The attacker needs to send VXLAN overlay-ping traffic to a local VTEP. The issue applies where EVPN-VXLAN is configured.

What is disclosed if exploitation succeeds?

An attacker may obtain stale packet memory from the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE). The reported impact is limited to information disclosure; integrity and availability impacts are not listed.
