V2 - Validation and Business Logic Input size validation
|
| Exploitation Conditions | The device must be configured for BGP MVPN (multicast VPN) signaling, and the attacker must be - or must control/impersonate - an established, configured BGP MVPN peer of the target; the malicious trigger is a crafted MVPN signaling update. This pre-existing peering/trust relationship is the primary limiting factor: devices not running BGP MVPN are not exposed, and a peer must already be configured on the target, which constrains exploitation to the BGP MVPN trust boundary rather than arbitrary internet hosts. Impact is limited to availability (rpd denial of service); supplemental metrics indicate automatic recovery, so there is no confidentiality or integrity effect. |
| Impact | This is a genuine availability-impacting vulnerability but its real-world risk is bounded by a significant precondition. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) scores 8.7 (High) and nominally indicates remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction, with impact confined to availability (VA:H, SA:L; VC/VI/VA-confidentiality/integrity = N). However, the description states the trigger must come from 'a configured BGP MVPN peer,' meaning exploitation requires a pre-established BGP peering/trust relationship - a material limiting factor that the PR:N metric does not capture. This is the key tension: the vector reads as fully unauthenticated, but operationally the attacker must already be (or compromise/spoof) a configured MVPN neighbor, narrowing the realistic threat population to peers inside a BGP MVPN trust boundary. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. Supplemental CVSS 4.0 metrics (AU:Y automatable, R:A automatic recovery, V:C concentrated value, RE:M moderate response effort) suggest the condition could be triggered repeatably but that the device recovers automatically, consistent with a routing-daemon crash/restart rather than persistent compromise. Net: a real patch-worthy DoS for operators running BGP MVPN, but not a drop-everything internet-wide threat, because impact is availability-only and the attacker must sit within an established peering relationship. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who controls or has compromised a router that is a configured BGP MVPN peer of a Junos OS / Junos OS Evolved device sends a specially crafted BGP MVPN signaling update containing a malformed/out-of-range specified quantity. The rpd (routing protocol daemon) fails to properly validate the input and crashes, dropping routing adjacencies and causing a denial of service. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the attack is availability-only with automatic recovery on daemon restart. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Denial of service in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved can be triggered when the routing protocol daemon (rpd) fails to properly validate a quantity field carried in a BGP MVPN (Multicast VPN) signaling update, allowing the crafted message to disrupt rpd and impair routing on the affected device. Exploitation is constrained by a strong precondition: the target must be configured for BGP MVPN signaling, and the sender must be - or must impersonate - an already configured, established BGP MVPN peer, so exposure is limited to the BGP MVPN peering trust boundary rather than arbitrary internet hosts. Impact is availability-only (CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H; vendor CVSS 4.0 score 8.7), with supplemental metrics indicating automatic recovery; no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Consult Juniper advisory JSA112187 (https://supportportal.juniper.net/JSA112187) for the exact fixed Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved releases and upgrade to the vendor-designated patched build for your platform and release train; the advisory is the authoritative source for fix versions, since the CPE data supplied here is version-wildcarded and no specific fixed version is confirmed in the available input, so patch status should be read as vendor-advisory-dependent rather than assumed. Where an immediate upgrade is not possible, apply compensating controls that address the trust boundary rather than the parser: disable the BGP MVPN address family on any device that does not genuinely require multicast VPN signaling (removes exposure entirely, at the cost of losing MVPN service), restrict MVPN peering to a small set of explicitly trusted, hardened peers using BGP route policy and prefix/peer filtering (shrinks but does not eliminate the attack surface, since a compromised or spoofed trusted peer still qualifies), and enable TCP MD5 or TCP-AO authentication plus strict ingress filtering for the BGP session so an off-path host cannot insert itself as a peer (adds configuration and key-management overhead and does not protect against a legitimate but compromised peer). Because impact is availability-only with automatic recovery indicated, pair any of these with rpd/BGP session monitoring and alerting on unexpected peering resets, and note that the vendored CVSS 4.0 vector's AU:Y/R:A supplemental metrics describe recovery behavior, not a substitute for patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a CWE-1284 (Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input) defect in rpd, the Junos routing protocol daemon that handles BGP and its address-family extensions. MVPN signaling (the multicast VPN address families defined in the RFC 6513/6514 series) lets BGP peers exchange provider-tunnel and multicast membership information; fields within those signaling updates that specify a count, length, or quantity of subsequent elements are used to drive internal parsing and allocation. Because rpd does not adequately bound or validate a specified quantity before use, a malformed update from a configured MVPN peer drives the daemon into an unexpected state and causes a denial of service. Affected CPE data covers both cpe:2.3:a:juniper_networks:junos_os and cpe:2.3:a:juniper_networks:junos_os_evolved (version fields wildcarded, so the precise release ranges must be read from vendor advisory JSA112187). The assessed vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) and the vendor vector (CVSS:4.0 with VC:N/VI:N/VA:H, SC:N/SI:N/SA:L, AU:Y, R:A) agree that this is an availability-only condition on the vulnerable device, with automatic recovery and no confidentiality or integrity loss - but real-world exposure is gated by the requirement that BGP MVPN be configured and that the attacking party already be an established MVPN peer, making this a trust-boundary-adjacent, rather than remotely reachable from arbitrary hosts, issue.

An Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input vulnerability in the rpd process of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a configured BGP MVPN peer to cause a denial of service via a BGP MVPN signaling update.
Executive ViewAI
Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved contain a remotely triggerable availability flaw in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) that can interrupt routing on affected devices. Exposure is narrow but consequential: only organizations that run BGP MVPN (Multicast VPN) signaling and exchange updates with an already-established MVPN peer are at risk, which concentrates the threat in service provider, large enterprise, and multicast-dependent networks rather than the open internet. Because these platforms typically sit in the network core, a successful disruption can cascade into customer-facing outages even though the flaw permits no data theft, tampering, or credential compromise.
No vendor-released patch is available, so rely on layered containment: restrict BGP MVPN peering to explicitly configured, authenticated neighbors (TCP MD5 / TCP-AO where supported) and apply inbound and outbound filters so only expected MVPN signaling is accepted; disable BGP MVPN signaling on any device that does not strictly require it; segment and monitor the peering trust boundary so a compromised or spoofed peer cannot reach rpd on unrelated interfaces; enable route redundancy and fast convergence (alternate paths, redundant control-plane hardware, graceful restart) so a single rpd disruption does not translate into a customer-visible outage; and alert on rpd crashes, process restarts, and BGP session instability to detect attempted abuse early. Confirm with Juniper whether any configuration-level workaround applies to your Junos release.
