An Incorrect Initialization of Resource vulnerability in the Internal Device Manager (IDM) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX4000 models allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
On EX4000 models with 48 ports (EX4000-48T, EX4000-48P, EX4000-48MP) a high volume of traffic destined to the device will cause an FXPC crash and restart, which leads to a complete service outage until the device has automatically restarted.
The following reboot reason can be seen in the output of 'show chassis routing-engine' and as a log message:
reason=0x4000002 reason_string=0x4000002:watchdog + panic with core dump
This issue affects Junos OS on EX4000-48T, EX4000-48P and EX4000-48MP:
- 24.4 versions before 24.4R2,
- 25.2 versions before 25.2R1-S2, 25.2R2.
This issue does not affect versions before 24.4R1 as the first Junos OS version for the EX4000 models was 24.4R1.

The vulnerability stems from improper resource initialization in the Internal Device Manager and results in complete service outage until automatic recovery completes. …
