Type:
CWE-125
Out-of-bounds Read

Description
An Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability in<br />
<br />
the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of <br />
<br />
Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, logically adjacent BGP peer sending a specifically malformed BGP packet to cause rpd to crash and restart, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Continued receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This issue only affects systems configured in<br />
either of two ways:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* systems with BGP traceoptions enabled<br />
<br />
* systems with BGP family traffic-engineering (BGP-LS)<br />
configured<br />
<br />
<br />
and can be exploited from a directly connected and configured BGP peer. <br />
<br />
This issue affects iBGP and eBGP <br />
<br />
with <br />
<br />
any address family<br />
<br />
configured, and both IPv4 and IPv6 are affected by this vulnerability.<br />
<br />
This issue affects:<br />
<br />
Junos OS: <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* <br />
<br />
from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S9, <br />
* from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5, <br />
* from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S4, <br />
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S5, <br />
* from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3, <br />
* from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S3, <br />
* from 24.2 before 24.2R1-S2, 24.2R2; <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Junos OS Evolved: <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* from 21.4-EVO before 21.4R3-S9-EVO, <br />
* from 22.2-EVO before 22.2R3-S5-EVO, <br />
* from 22.3-EVO before 22.3R3-S4-EVO, <br />
* from 22.4-EVO before 22.4R3-S5-EVO, <br />
* from 23.2-EVO before 23.2R2-S3-EVO, <br />
* from 23.4-EVO before 23.4R2-S2-EVO, <br />
* from 24.2-EVO before 24.2R1-S2-EVO, 24.2R2-EVO.<br />
<br />
<br />
