Description
The VeloCloud Edge and Gateway exhibit an out-of-bounds write vulnerability when processing tunneled IP fragments between authenticated overlay neighbors. This vulnerability impacts the VeloCloud VCMP tunnel protocol only.

A successful exploit can cause the affected process to terminate and restart, leading to a temporary disruption of traffic. Hosts on the internet that are unauthenticated and unable to form an overlay peer relationship can not trigger the vulnerable logic.

Impact

The VeloCloud Edge and Gateway have an out‑of‑bounds write condition in the VCMP tunnel protocol that processes tunneled IP fragments between authenticated overlay neighbors. The flaw can cause the vulnerable process to terminate and restart, resulting in a brief traffic disruption. The vulnerability is limited to authenticated overlay peers and does not allow unauthenticated hosts to trigger the logic.

Affected Systems

Arista Networks VeloCloud Edge and Arista Networks VeloCloud Gateway devices running firmware versions 5.2.7.0 or newer in the 5.2.x train, 6.1.5.0 or newer in the 6.1.x train, 6.4.2.0 or newer in the 6.4.x train, or 7.0.0 or later.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.2 classifies it as high severity, but the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation. The attack requires authenticated overlay peers, and the CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, which further suggests limited real‑world exploitation. Nevertheless, any successful exploit would cause a transient service disruption that could compound in a large overlay network.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

The following releases contain the fix: - 5.2.7.0 and later in the 5.2.x train - 6.1.5.0 and later in the 6.1.x train - 6.4.2.0 and later in the 6.4.x train - 7.0.0 and later No hotfix is available for this issue.


Vendor Workaround

No mitigation is available for this issue. Customers should restrict overlay peer relationships to trusted devices and monitor for unexpected fragmentation behavior.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the device firmware to the latest release released in the 5.2.x, 6.1.x, 6.4.x, or 7.0.x train that contains the fix (5.2.7.0 or newer, 6.1.5.0 or newer, 6.4.2.0 or newer, 7.0.0 or newer).
  • Restrict overlay peer relationships to trusted devices and conduct ongoing monitoring for unexpected fragmentation behavior.
  • Monitor logs for sudden process restarts or service disruptions and investigate any anomalous fragmentation activity.
