CVE-2026-7473Arista EOS — tunnel decapsulation without a protocol check

Arista's switch operating system (EOS) unwraps tunnelled packets aimed at its tunnel address without checking that the tunnel protocol is the one configured, so unrelated tunnelled traffic is decapsulated and forwarded into the network.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply the fix or the mitigation in Arista Security Advisory 0137 now; audit which decapsulation addresses are configured and restrict who can reach them.
