The version of Arista Networks EOS running on the remote device is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in the client certificate authentication process, due to the crypto/x509 package in Go not limiting the amount of work performed for each chain verification. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this, by sending a crafted certificate to cause the system to stop responding.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
