Descriptions

An Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).

If an attacker sends a specific MPLS packet, which upon processing, causes an internal loop, that leads to a PFE crash and restart. Continued receipt of these packets leads to a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

Circuit cross-connect (CCC) needs to be configured on the device for it to be affected by this issue.

This issue only affects MX Series with MPC10, MPC11, LC9600, and MX304.

This issue affects:
Juniper Networks Junos OS
21.4 versions from 21.4R3 earlier than 21.4R3-S5;
22.2 versions from 22.2R2 earlier than 22.2R3-S2;
22.3 versions from 22.3R1 earlier than 22.3R2-S2;
22.3 versions from 22.3R3 earlier than 22.3R3-S1
22.4 versions from 22.4R1 earlier than 22.4R2-S2, 22.4R3;
23.2 versions earlier than 23.2R1-S1, 23.2R2.

Una vulnerabilidad de verificación o manejo inadecuado de condiciones excepcionales en el motor de reenvío de paquetes (PFE) de Juniper Networks Junos OS y Junos OS Evolved permite que un atacante adyacente no autenticado provoque una denegación de servicio (DoS). Si un atacante envía un paquete MPLS específico, que al procesarse, provoca un bucle interno, lo que provoca un bloqueo y reinicio del PFE. La recepción continua de estos paquetes conduce a una condición sostenida de Denegación de Servicio (DoS). La conexión cruzada de circuito (CCC) debe configurarse en el dispositivo para que se vea afectado por este problema. Este problema solo afecta a la serie MX con MPC10, MPC11, LC9600 y MX304. Este problema afecta a: Juniper Networks Junos OS 21.4 versiones desde 21.4R3 anteriores a 21.4R3-S5; Versiones 22.2 de 22.2R2 anteriores a 22.2R3-S2; Versiones 22.3 de 22.3R1 anteriores a 22.3R2-S2; Versiones 22.3 de 22.3R3 anteriores a 22.3R3-S1. Versiones 22.4 de 22.4R1 anteriores a 22.4R2-S2, 22.4R3; Versiones 23.2 anteriores a 23.2R1-S1, 23.2R2.
