CVE-2020-26569


In EVPN VxLAN setups in Arista EOS, specific malformed packets can lead to incorrect MAC to IP bindings and as a result packets can be incorrectly forwarded across VLAN boundaries. This can result in traffic being discarded on the receiving VLAN. This affects versions: 4.21.12M and below releases in the 4.21.x train; 4.22.7M and below releases in the 4.22.x train; 4.23.5M and below releases in the 4.23.x train; 4.24.2F and below releases in the 4.24.x train.


Security Impact Summary

This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.9, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network but requires specific conditions to be met without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 47 products from arista, from arista, from arista and 44 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.

Historical Context

Reported in 2020, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

How SecUtils Interprets This CVE

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For arista's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
