On affected platforms running Arista CloudEOS a size check bypass issue in the Software Forwarding Engine (Sfe) may allow buffer over reads in later code. Additionally, depending on configured options this may cause a recomputation of the TCP checksum ...

This causes a leak of packet buffers and if enough malformed packets are received, the switch may eventually stop forwarding traffic.
