On Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved devices, BGP session flapping can lead to a routing process daemon (RPD) crash and restart, limiting the attack surface to configured BGP peers. This issue only affects devices with BGP damping in combination with accepted-prefix-limit configuration. When the issue occurs the following messages will appear in the /var/log/messages: rpd[6046]: %DAEMON-4-BGP_PREFIX_THRESH_EXCEEDED: XXXX (External AS x): Configured maximum accepted prefix-limit threshold(1800) exceeded for inet6-unicast nlri: 1984 (instance master) rpd[6046]: %DAEMON-3-BGP_CEASE_PREFIX_LIMIT_EXCEEDED: 2001:x:x:x::2 (External AS x): Shutting down peer due to exceeding configured maximum accepted prefix-limit(2000) for inet6-unicast nlri: 2001 (instance master) rpd[6046]: %DAEMON-4: bgp_rt_maxprefixes_check_common:9284: NOTIFICATION sent to 2001:x:x:x::2 (External AS x): code 6 (Cease) subcode 1 (Maximum Number of Prefixes Reached) AFI: 2 SAFI: 1 prefix limit 2000 kernel: %KERN-5: mastership_relinquish_on_process_exit: RPD crashed on master RE. Sending SIGUSR2 to chassisd (5612:chassisd) to trigger RE switchover This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS: 17.2R3-S3; 17.3 version 17.3R3-S3 and later versions, prior to 17.3R3-S8; 17.4 version 17.4R2-S4, 17.4R3 and later versions, prior to 17.4R2-S10, 17.4R3-S2; 18.1 version 18.1R3-S6 and later versions, prior to 18.1R3-S10; 18.2 version 18.2R3 and later versions, prior to 18.2R3-S4; 18.2X75 version 18.2X75-D50, 18.2X75-D60 and later versions, prior to 18.2X75-D53, 18.2X75-D65; 18.3 version 18.3R2 and later versions, prior to 18.3R2-S4, 18.3R3-S2; 18.4 version 18.4R2 and later versions, prior to 18.4R2-S5, 18.4R3-S2; 19.1 version 19.1R1 and later versions, prior to 19.1R2-S2, 19.1R3-S1; 19.2 version 19.2R1 and later versions, prior to 19.2R1-S5, 19.2R2; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R2-S3, 19.3R3; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R1-S3, 19.4R2; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R1-S2, 20.1R2. Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved prior to 20.1R2-EVO. This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS versions prior to 17.2R3-S3.

When DNS filtering is enabled on Juniper Networks Junos MX Series with one of the following cards MS-PIC, MS-MIC or MS-MPC, an incoming stream of packets processed by the Multiservices PIC Management Daemon (mspmand) process, responsible for managing "URL Filtering service", may crash, causing the Services PIC to restart. While the Services PIC is restarting, all PIC services including DNS filtering service (DNS sink holing) will be bypassed until the Services PIC completes its boot process. This vulnerability might allow an attacker to cause an extended Denial of Service (DoS) attack against the device and to cause clients to be vulnerable to DNS based attacks by malicious DNS servers when they send DNS requests through the device. As a result, devices which were once protected by the DNS Filtering service are no longer protected and at risk of exploitation. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS: 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R3-S8; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R3-S1; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R3; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R3; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R2; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R3. This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS 17.4, 18.1, and 18.2.

On Juniper Networks SRX Series with ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol) redirect service enabled, a double free vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) or Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to processing of a specific HTTP message. Continued processing of this specific HTTP message may result in an extended Denial of Service (DoS). The offending HTTP message that causes this issue may originate both from the HTTP server or the client. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series: 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S9; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R3-S3; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R2-S4, 18.3R3-S1; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R2-S5, 18.4R3; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R2; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S2, 19.2R2; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R2. This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS prior to 18.1R1.

When DNS filtering is enabled on Juniper Networks Junos MX Series with one of the following cards MS-PIC, MS-MIC or MS-MPC, an incoming stream of packets processed by the Multiservices PIC Management Daemon (mspmand) process, responsible for managing "URL Filtering service", may crash, causing the Services PIC to restart. While the Services PIC is restarting, all PIC services including DNS filtering service (DNS sink holing) will be bypassed until the Services PIC completes its boot process. If the issue occurs, system core-dumps output will show a crash of mspmand process: root@device> show system core-dumps -rw-rw---- 1 nobody wheel 575685123 <Date> /var/tmp/pics/mspmand.core.<*>.gz This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS: 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R3-S8; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R2-S4, 18.3R3-S1; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R2-S5, 18.4R3; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R2-S2, 19.1R3; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S5, 19.2R2; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R2-S3, 19.3R3; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R1-S3, 19.4R2. This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS releases prior to 17.3R2.

An improper use of a validation framework when processing incoming genuine BGP packets within Juniper Networks RPD (routing protocols process) daemon allows an attacker to crash RPD thereby causing a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This framework requires these packets to be passed. By continuously sending any of these types of formatted genuine packets, an attacker can repeatedly crash the RPD process causing a sustained Denial of Service. Authentication to the BGP peer is not required. This issue can be initiated or propagated through eBGP and iBGP and can impact devices in either modes of use as long as the devices are configured to support the compromised framework and a BGP path is activated or active. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS 16.1 versions 16.1R7-S6 and later versions prior to 16.1R7-S8; 17.3 versions 17.3R2-S5, 17.3R3-S6 and later versions prior to 17.3R3-S8; 17.4 versions 17.4R2-S7, 17.4R3 and later versions prior to 17.4R2-S11, 17.4R3-S2; 18.1 versions 18.1R3-S7 and later versions prior to 18.1R3-S10; 18.2 versions 18.2R2-S6, 18.2R3-S2 and later versions prior to 18.2R2-S7, 18.2R3-S5; 18.2X75 versions 18.2X75-D12, 18.2X75-D32, 18.2X75-D33, 18.2X75-D51, 18.2X75-D60, 18.2X75-D411, 18.2X75-D420 and later versions prior to 18.2X75-D32, 18.2X75-D33, 18.2X75-D420, 18.2X75-D52, 18.2X75-D60, 18.2X75-D65, 18.2X75-D70;(*1) 18.3 versions 18.3R1-S6, 18.3R2-S3, 18.3R3 and later versions prior to 18.3R2-S4, 18.3R3-S2; 18.4 versions 18.4R1-S5, 18.4R2-S4, 18.4R3 and later versions prior to 18.4R1-S7, 18.4R2-S5, 18.4R3-S3(*2); 19.1 versions 19.1R1-S3, 19.1R2 and later versions prior to 19.1R1-S5, 19.1R2-S2, 19.1R3-S2; 19.2 versions 19.2R1-S2, 19.2R2 and later versions prior to 19.2R1-S5, 19.2R2, 19.2R3; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R2-S3, 19.3R3; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R1-S2, 19.4R2, 19.4R3; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R1-S1, 20.1R2. This issue does not affect Junos OS prior to 16.1R1. This issue affects IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

A Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability exists in the NFX250 Series for the vSRX Virtual Network Function (VNF) instance, which allows an attacker to take control of the vSRX VNF instance if they have the ability to access an administrative service (e.g. SSH) on the VNF, either locally, or through the network. This issue only affects the NFX250 Series vSRX VNF. No other products or platforms are affected. This issue is only applicable to environments where the vSRX VNF root password has not been configured. This issue affects the Juniper Networks NFX250 Network Services Platform vSRX VNF instance on versions prior to 19.2R1.

utility.c in telnetd in netkit telnet through 0.17 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via short writes or urgent data, because of a buffer overflow involving the netclear and nextitem functions.

Memory leak in Juniper JUNOS Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion and device reboot) via certain IPv6 packets.

TCP, when using a large Window Size, makes it easier for remote attackers to guess sequence numbers and cause a denial of service (connection loss) to persistent TCP connections by repeatedly injecting a TCP RST packet, especially in protocols that use long-lived connections, such as BGP.
