Summary

Arista Networks Wi-Fi Access Points with Captive Portal enabled are affected in versions 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. A NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476) lets an unauthenticated wireless client crash the captive portal service with a crafted HTTP request. The service restarts automatically, but a sustained low-rate attack causes a persistent denial of service. Remote code execution is not possible.
