What to do
Solution: The recommended resolution is to upgrade to a remediated software version at your earliest convenience.

Fixed versions are as follows for each product: Danz Monitoring Fabric * DMF 8.7.1 and later releases in the 8.7.x train * DMF 8.6.2 and later releases in the 8.6.x train * DMF 8.5.3 and later releases in the 8.5.x train * DMF 8.4.6 and later releases in the 8.4.x train. Converged Cloud Fabric * CCF 6.2.5 and later releases in the 6.2.x train Cloud Vision Appliance * CVA 7.1.0 and later releases in the CVA 7.x train Multi-Cloud Director * MCD 2.4.1 and later releases in the 2.4.x train
Workaround: A downloaded upgrade image can be manually checked against the hash values published on arista.com https://www.arista.com/support/software-download . If the published hash values do not match those of the image this is a potential indicator of compromise.
