CVE-2016-6894
Arista EOS 4.15 before 4.15.8M, 4.16 before 4.16.7M, and 4.17 before 4.17.0F on DCS-7050 series devices allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reboot) by sending crafted packets to the control plane.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.69%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
