Published Nov 10, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

On affected Arista EOS platforms running Border Gateway Protocol with Link State ( BGP-LS) and configured with the Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) consumer role, an attacker who has established an authenticated BGP-LS session with the device can send a crafted message to cause the BGP agent to restart unexpectedly. An Arista Pathfinder deployment is not required.
