DescriptionNVD

A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the BroadBand Edge subscriber management daemon (bbe-smgd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).

If the authentication packet-type option is configured and a received packet does not match that packet type, the memory leak occurs. When all memory

available to bbe-smgd has been consumed, no new subscribers will be able to login.

The memory utilization of bbe-smgd can be monitored with the following show command:

user@host> show system processes extensive | match bbe-smgd

The below log message can be observed when this limit has been reached:

bbesmgd[<PID>]: %DAEMON-3-SMD_DPROF_RSMON_ERROR: Resource unavailability, Reason: Daemon Heap Memory exhaustion

This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series:

  • all versions before 22.4R3-S8,
  • 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5,
  • 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6,
  • 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2,
  • 24.4 versions before 24.4R2,
  • 25.2 versions before 25.2R2.

AnalysisAI

Memory exhaustion in Juniper Networks Junos OS BroadBand Edge subscriber management daemon (bbe-smgd) on MX Series allows adjacent unauthenticated attackers to trigger persistent denial of service by sending authentication packets that do not match configured packet-type options. Each mismatched packet leaks memory, eventually consuming all available daemon heap memory and preventing new subscriber logins. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all MX Series routers running affected Junos OS versions and confirm active authentication packet-type configuration in bbe-smgd. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released patch to all vulnerable MX Series devices, prioritizing those facing untrusted adjacent networks. …
