Summary

Arista Wi-Fi Access Points from 22.0.0 through 22.0.1F-32, from 21.3.0 through 21.3.0M-13, and from 1.0.0 before 21.3.0 are affected. A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in the capture service lets an unauthenticated attacker with network access send a crafted packet that crashes the service or may lead to remote code execution. The flaw is reachable only when an uncommonly used non-default streaming mode is enabled.
