The version of Arista Networks EOS running on the remote device is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a DoS (use-after-free and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impacts by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
