As announced by Go upstream on 2019-10-17: Invalid DSA public keys can cause a panic in dsa.Verify. In particular, using crypto/x509.Verify on a crafted X.509 certificate chain can lead to a panic, even if the certificates don’t chain to a trusted root. The chain can be delivered via a crypto/tls connection to a client, or to a server that accepts and verifies client certificates. net/http clients can be made to crash by an HTTPS server, while net/http servers that accept client certificates will recover the panic and are unaffected.

Moreover, an application might crash invoking crypto/x509.(CertificateRequest) CheckSignature on an X.509 certificate request, parsing a golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp Entity, or during a golang.org/x/crypto/otr conversation. Finally, a golang.org/x/crypto/ssh client can panic due to a malformed host key, while a server could panic if either PublicKeyCallback accepts a malformed public key, or if IsUserAuthority accepts a certificate with a malformed public key.

A security regression (CVE-2006-5051) was discovered in OpenSSH's server (sshd). There is a race condition which can lead sshd to handle some signals in an unsafe manner. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to trigger it by failing to authenticate within a set time period.

An input validation vulnerability exists in an API component of the orchestrator. An authenticated user can exploit this flaw to manipulate backend queries, which may result in unauthorized access to data beyond their intended privileges and cause the underlying system to initiate unintended outbound network connections.

This issue was discovered internally by Arista and the company is not aware of any malicious uses of this issue in customer networks.

The VeloCloud Orchestrator does not apply correct input validation which allows for blind SQL-injection. A malicious actor with tenant access to Velocloud Orchestrator could enter specially crafted SQL queries and obtain data to which they are not privileged.

Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator On-Prem contains an OS command injection vulnerability that may allow a remote attacker to access privileged internal functionality and impact the VCO host. Successful exploitation may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the orchestrator and data managed by the orchestrator.

A flaw was found in the bash functionality that evaluates specially formatted environment variables passed to it from another environment. An attacker could use this feature to override or bypass restrictions to the environment to execute shell commands before restrictions have been applied. Certain services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to provide environment variables, allowing them to exploit this issue.

In Arista’s EOS when in 802.1X mode, multi-auth unauthenticated hosts might be allowed access to a switch port if there exists an EAPOL capable device in the fallback VLAN.

Affected platforms running Arista EOS with OpenConfig configured, a gNMI Set request can be run when it should have been rejected. This can result in unexpected configuration being applied to the switch.

Affected platforms running Arista EOS with OpenConfig configured, a gNMI Set request can be run when it should have been rejected. This can result in unexpected configuration being applied to the switch.

On affected platforms running Arista EOS with IPsec configured, a specially crafted packet can cause the dataplane to stop processing all IPsec traffic. The control plane may detect this condition, and attempt to reset the IPsec processing pipeline. After reset traffic may not resume being processed. There is no impact to non-IPsec traffic or to IPsec traffic not originating or terminating on the system. This issue was reported by an Arista customer.

Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS) contains an incomplete comparison with missing factors vulnerability when the switch incorrectly decapsulate and forwards other unexpected tunneled packet with a destination IP matching its configured decapsulation IP.

On affected platforms with hardware IPSec support running Arista EOS with certain IPsec features enabled, EOS may exhibit unexpected behavior in specific cases. Physical interface flaps and certain agent restarts can cause IPsec tunnel re-establishment with existing Security Associations, resulting in sequence number mismatches between tunnel endpoints potentially causing unstable communication.

A Captive Portal Custom Handler command injection vulnerability exists in Arista Edge Threat Management - Arista Next Generation Firewall (NGFW). On affected platforms, an administrative account logged into the user interface can exploit this input handling behavior to execute arbitrary platform shell commands.

An administrative cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the web user interface dashboard layout of Arista Edge Threat Management - Arista Next Generation Firewall (NGFW). Unvalidated user-supplied variables are echoed back to administrative profiles, facilitating vector payload processing behavior controls.

An input validation command execution vulnerability exists in the browser management pipeline of Arista Edge Threat Management - Arista Next Generation Firewall (NGFW). Authenticated administrators can leverage this exposure to obtain underlying terminal script code processing execution permissions.

A Reports application infrastructure vulnerability exists in Arista Edge Threat Management - Arista Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) due to insecure input validation. This issue uniquely affects version 17.4.0; earlier software releases are not exposed.

An encrypted password command injection vulnerability exists in the Captive Portal application framework of Arista Edge Threat Management - Arista Next Generation Firewall (NGFW). This issue uniquely affects version 17.4.0; earlier software releases are not exposed.

CVX is not resilient to unexpected messages from a connected switch. This leads to agent crashes on CVX causing instability in the CVX cluster. An attacker could use this behavior to create a denial of service (DoS) scenario. Note that this would require the attacker to have a high privilege access to the connected switch to be able to send custom TCP packets to the CVX.

An authenticated Redis session could be used to obtain full root access to all servers in the CVX cluster. Note that this would require an attacker to have both network access to the Redis service on a CVX server and the Redis password. Please note that all Redis communication, including authentication, occurs over plaintext in the present day. TLS support is tracked under RFE1294850.

In a CVX cluster, an EOS switch connected to a CVX server is not resilient to certain malformed messages received from the connected CVX server. Similarly, the CVX server is not resilient to certain malformed messages received from the connected EOS switch. This leads to either a Sysdb agent crash on the EOS device causing a soft reset of the switch or agent crashes on the CVX server causing instability of the CVX cluster. An attacker could use this behavior to create a denial of service (DoS) scenario. Note that this would require the attacker to already have a high privilege access to the connected device to be able to send custom TCP packets. EOS switches that are not connected to a CVX server are not impacted.

A vulnerability in the AOS-CX REST interface could allow an authenticated remote attacker with low privileges to view sensitive information. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to read encrypted credentials of other users on the switch, potentially leading to further unauthorized access or data breaches.

This Advisory describes an issue that impacts Arista Wireless Access Points. Any entity with the ability to authenticate via SSH to an affected AP as the “config” user is able to cause a privilege escalation via spawning a bash shell. The SSH CLI session does not require high permissions to exploit this vulnerability, but the config password is required to establish the session. The spawned shell is able to obtain root privileges.

DISPUTED Arista DCS-7050QX-32S-R 4.20.9M, DCS-7050CX3-32S-R 4.20.11M, and DCS-7280SRAM-48C6-R 4.22.0.1F devices (and possibly other products) allow attackers to bypass intended TACACS+ shell restrictions via a | character. NOTE: the vendor reports that this is a configuration issue relating to an overly permissive regular expression in the TACACS+ server permitted commands.

GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-025 processes trailing strings after certain malformed function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to write to files or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the modcgi and modcgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-6271.

A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel, where the WiFi implementation reassemble fragments with non-consecutive packet numbers. An adversary can abuse this to exfiltrate selected fragments. This vulnerability is exploitable when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. Note that WEP is vulnerable to this attack by design.

This advisory documents the impact of an internally found vulnerability in Arista EOS for security ACL bypass. The impact of this vulnerability is that the security ACL drop rule might be bypassed if a NAT ACL rule filter with permit action matches the packet flow. This could allow a host with an IP address in a range that matches the range allowed by a NAT ACL and a range denied by a Security ACL to be forwarded incorrectly as it should have been denied by the Security ACL. This can enable an ACL bypass.

This advisory documents an internally found vulnerability in the on premises deployment model of Arista CloudVision Portal (CVP) where under a certain set of conditions, user passwords can be leaked in the Audit and System logs. The impact of this vulnerability is that the CVP user login passwords might be leaked to other authenticated users.

CloudVision Portal (CVP) before 2016.1.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to gain access to the internal configuration mechanisms via the management plane, related to a request to /web/system/console/bundle.
