Description
An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in packet processing of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved may allow a network-based unauthenticated attacker to crash the device (vmcore) by sending a specific TCP packet over an established TCP session with MD5 authentication enabled, destined to an accessible port on the device, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). The receipt of this packet must occur within a specific timing window outside the attacker&#39;s control (i.e., race condition).<br />
<br />
Continued receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.<br />
<br />
This issue only affects dual RE systems with Nonstop Active Routing (NSR) enabled.<br />
Exploitation can only occur over TCP sessions with MD5 authentication enabled (e.g., BGP with MD5 authentication).<br />
<br />
This issue affects Junos OS Evolved: <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* All versions before 21.2R3-S8-EVO, <br />
* from 21.4-EVO before 21.4R3-S6-EVO, <br />
* from 22.1-EVO before 22.1R3-S4-EVO, <br />
* from 22.2-EVO before 22.2R3-S4-EVO, <br />
* from 22.3-EVO before 22.3R3-S3-EVO, <br />
* from 22.4-EVO before 22.4R2-S2-EVO, 22.4R3-EVO.
