DescriptionCVE.org

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (RPD) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker sending a specific BGP update over an established BGP session to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

Upon receipt of a specifically malformed non-inet/inet6 unicast BGP update, an RPD crash and restart is triggered, which will cause a complete service outage until routing has reconverged. The rpd crash occurs before the update can be readvertised, so there is no downstream propagation.

This issue affects:

  • Junos OS versions 25.2 before 25.2R2;
  • Junos OS Evolved versions 25.2 before 25.2R2-EVO.

This issue doesn't affect Junos OS versions before 25.2R1 nor Junos OS Evolved versions before 25.2R1-EVO.

AnalysisAI

Remote denial-of-service in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved 25.2 (before 25.2R2 / 25.2R2-EVO) lets an adjacent, unauthenticated BGP peer crash the routing protocol daemon (RPD) by sending a single malformed non-inet/inet6 unicast BGP update over an already-established session. The RPD crash-and-restart produces a full routing outage until reconvergence completes, though the crash occurs before the update is readvertised so there is no downstream propagation to other routers. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an established BGP session between the attacker and the target RPD, and the attacker must be able to send a specifically malformed BGP UPDATE for a non-inet/inet6 unicast address family over that session - so the attacker must be a configured BGP neighbor (or occupy an on-path/adjacent position able to inject into the session). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:L) scores 7.1 (High) and is internally consistent with the description: an adjacent (AV:A) attacker needs no authentication (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N) and low complexity (AC:L) to achieve high availability impact (VA:H) with a lesser subsequent-system availability effect (SA:L) from network-wide reconvergence; there is no confidentiality or integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who is a BGP peer of a vulnerable router - for example a malicious or compromised customer/transit neighbor, or an adjacent party able to inject into an established eBGP session - sends a single crafted non-inet/inet6 unicast BGP UPDATE over that session. RPD hits the unhandled condition and crashes, dropping all routing adjacencies on the device and causing a service outage until routing reconverges. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade Junos OS to 25.2R2 or later, and Junos OS Evolved to 25.2R2-EVO or later, per Juniper advisory JSA110076 (https://supportportal.juniper.net/JSA110076). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24 hours: Identify all systems running Juniper Junos 25.2; restrict BGP peering to authentication-protected, pre-approved peers; review current BGP session security configurations. …
