Descriptions

An Improper Input Validation vulnerability in the 802.1X Authentication (dot1x) Daemon of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows a local, low-privileged attacker with access to the CLI to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). On running a specific operational dot1x command, the dot1x daemon crashes. An attacker can cause a sustained DoS condition by running this command repeatedly. When the crash occurs, the authentication status of any 802.1x clients is cleared, and any authorized dot1x port becomes unauthorized. The client cannot re-authenticate until the dot1x daemon restarts. This issue affects Junos OS: * All versions before 20.4R3-S10; * 21.2 versions before 21.2R3-S7; * 21.4 versions before 21.4R3-S6; * 22.1 versions before 22.1R3-S5; * 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S3; * 22.3 versions before 22.3R3-S2; * 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S1; * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2.

Una vulnerabilidad de validación de entrada incorrecta en el demonio de autenticación 802.1X (dot1x) de Juniper Networks Junos OS permite que un atacante local con pocos privilegios y acceso a la CLI provoque una denegación de servicio (DoS). Al ejecutar un comando operativo dot1x específico, el demonio dot1x falla. Un atacante puede provocar una condición DoS sostenida ejecutando este comando repetidamente. Cuando se produce el fallo, el estado de autenticación de cualquier cliente 802.1x se borra y cualquier puerto dot1x autorizado queda no autorizado. El cliente no puede volver a autenticarse hasta que se reinicie el demonio dot1x. Este problema afecta a Junos OS: * Todas las versiones anteriores a 20.4R3-S10; * Versiones 21.2 anteriores a 21.2R3-S7; * Versiones 21.4 anteriores a 21.4R3-S6; * Versiones 22.1 anteriores a 22.1R3-S5; * Versiones 22.2 anteriores a 22.2R3-S3; * Versiones 22.3 anteriores a 22.3R3-S2; * Versiones 22.4 anteriores a 22.4R3-S1; * Versiones 23.2 anteriores a 23.2R2.
