- CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds Write
Summary
On affected Arista access points with Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) active, an unauthenticated attacker within radio frequency (RF) proximity can send a crafted frame to crash the sensor service, disabling WIPS monitoring on the access point, or potentially achieve remote code execution. No wireless association or authentication is required.
