An Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input vulnerability in the SIP plugin of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series with SPC3 and SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).If the SIP ALG is enabled on an affected device, the processing of a malformed SIP invite packet will cause a flow processing daemon (flowd) crash and restart. This leads to a complete service outage until the system has automatically recovered.
This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series with SPC3 and SRX Series:
- all versions before 23.2R2-S7,
- 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8,
- 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S5,
- 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4,
- 25.2 versions before 25.2R2,
- 25.4 versions before 25.4R1-S2.

Denial-of-service in Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series (with SPC3) and SRX Series devices allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to crash the flow processing daemon (flowd) by sending a malformed SIP INVITE packet when the SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG) is enabled. The crash forces a flowd restart, producing a complete traffic-forwarding outage until the device auto-recovers, and can be repeated to sustain the outage. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The SIP ALG must be explicitly enabled on the affected MX (SPC3) or SRX device, and the attacker must be able to deliver a malformed SIP INVITE packet to the device's SIP signaling path over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine availability priority for organizations that run SIP ALG on internet- or SIP-trunk-facing SRX/MX devices, tempered by a specific configuration precondition. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the SIP signaling port of an internet-facing SRX firewall with SIP ALG enabled sends a single crafted, malformed SIP INVITE packet. flowd fails to validate the request syntax, crashes, and restarts, dropping all traffic through the device; the attacker scripts the packet on a loop to keep the daemon crashing and maintain a sustained outage. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to a fixed Junos OS release for your train: 23.2R2-S7, 23.4R2-S8, 24.2R2-S5, 24.4R2-S4, 25.2R2, or 25.4R1-S2 (or later), as documented in Juniper advisory JSA110086 (https://supportportal.juniper.net/JSA110086) - Vendor-released patches confirmed per that advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
24 hours: Inventory all MX Series (with SPC3) and SRX Series devices; disable SIP gateway functionality unless operationally critical. …
