Descriptions

A high rate of VLAN authentication attempts sent from an adjacent host on the local broadcast domain can trigger high memory utilization by the BBE subscriber management daemon (bbe-smgd), and lead to a denial of service condition. The issue was caused by attempting to process an unbounded number of pending VLAN authentication requests, leading to excessive memory allocation. This issue only affects devices configured for DHCPv4/v6 over AE auto-sensed VLANs, utilized in Broadband Edge (BBE) deployments. Other configurations are unaffected by this issue. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS: 15.1 versions prior to 15.1R6-S2, 15.1R7; 16.1 versions prior to 16.1R5-S1, 16.1R6; 16.2 versions prior to 16.2R2-S2, 16.2R3; 17.1 versions prior to 17.1R2-S5, 17.1R3; 17.2 versions prior to 17.2R2.

Una alta tasa de intentos de autenticación VLAN enviados desde un host adyacente en el dominio de difusión local podría provocar que bbe-smgd (BBE subscriber management daemon) utilice una gran cantidad de memoria y provoque una denegación de servicio (DoS). El problema se produjo al intentar procesar un número ilimitado de peticiones de autenticación VLAN pendientes, provocando una asignación excesiva de memoria. Este problema solo afecta a dispositivos configurados para DHCPv4/v6 en VLAN AE con sensores automáticos, utilizados en despliegues BBE (Broadband Edge). Otras configuraciones no se ven afectadas por este problema. Las distribuciones afectadas son Juniper Networks Junos OS: 15.1 en versiones anteriores a 15.1R6-S2, 15.1R7; 16.1 en versiones anteriores a 16.1R5-S1, 16.1R6; 16.2 en versiones anteriores a 16.2R2-S2, 16.2R3; 17.1 en versiones anteriores a 17.1R2-S5, 17.1R3; 17.2 en versiones anteriores a 17.2R2.
