The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Two concrete preconditions must both hold: (1) the attacker must have access to a CONFIGURED BGP EVPN peer - i.e. an established EVPN peering/trust relationship with the target, not arbitrary network reach; and (2) the device must have the l2vpn-evpn RIB telemetry sensor subscribed (a Junos Telemetry Interface streaming configuration that is not enabled by default). Limiting factors for defenders: the box must be deployed as part of an EVPN fabric, the specific telemetry sensor subscription gates the vulnerable code path, and the attacker needs an existing peer position; impact is availability-only (rpd crash) and self-recovering once the daemon restarts and reconverges. Only Junos OS / Junos OS Evolved releases in the listed affected ranges are vulnerable.

Impact

This is a genuine but conditional priority, not an inflated high-CVSS score. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (8.7) reflects a network-reachable (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L), unauthenticated (PR:N), no-interaction flaw with high availability impact on the vulnerable system (VA:H) and low subsequent-system availability impact (SA:L) - consistent with an rpd crash cascading into routing disruption. The threat metrics reinforce operational concern: AU:Y (automatable) and V:C (concentrated value) indicate it could be scripted against high-value routing infrastructure, while R:A (automatic recovery, i.e. the daemon restarts) tempers persistent impact. Crucially, the raw AV:N/PR:N/AC:L signals OVERSTATE real-world ease: the description imposes two hard preconditions - the attacker must already have access to a CONFIGURED BGP EVPN peer (a pre-established trust relationship, not arbitrary internet access), AND the l2vpn-evpn RIB telemetry sensor must be subscribed (a non-default operational condition). These are not captured in the AT:N field the vendor chose, which is why an independent assessor would argue AT:P / AC:H. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided; absence of KEV plus a pure DoS (no C/I impact) means this is not mass-exploitation material but rather a targeted risk to EVPN fabrics running streaming telemetry. SSVC-style read: exploitation=none observed, automatable=yes, technical impact=partial (availability-only, auto-recovering) - supporting a 'Track/Scheduled' rather than 'Act now' posture absent evidence of active exploitation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who controls or has compromised a device peering over BGP EVPN with a vulnerable Junos/Junos Evolved router sends a crafted EVPN route that triggers an out-of-bounds write during route processing. When the l2vpn-evpn RIB telemetry sensor is subscribed, this crashes the rpd daemon, dropping all routing adjacencies until rpd restarts and reconverges. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires an existing EVPN peering relationship rather than arbitrary remote access.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026

Denial of service in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an attacker with access to a configured BGP EVPN peer to crash the routing protocol daemon (rpd) via BGP EVPN route processing when the l2vpn-evpn RIB telemetry sensor is subscribed. Exploitation requires two non-default preconditions: an established EVPN peering session and an active telemetry sensor subscription; the impact is availability-only (rpd crash) with automatic recovery after daemon restart and reconvergence. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; vendor patch available (see Juniper advisory JSA112187).

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to the fixed versions listed in Juniper advisory JSA112187, such as Junos OS 23.2R2-S7.7, 23.4R2-S8.13, 24.2R2-S5.5, 24.4R2-S5, 25.2R2-S2, 25.4R1-S3, 26.2R1-S2 and corresponding Junos OS Evolved releases (e.g., 23.2R2-S7.7-EVO, 23.4R2-S8.11-EVO, 24.2R2-S5.6-EVO, 24.4R2-S5-EVO, 25.2R2-S2-EVO, 25.4R1-S3-EVO, 26.2R1-S2-EVO). As a compensating control, disable the l2vpn-evpn RIB telemetry sensor subscription; note this removes telemetry visibility for EVPN routes and may impact monitoring. Additionally, restrict BGP EVPN peering to trusted neighbors only, though this is already a prerequisite for exploitation. No other workarounds are documented.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved. It occurs during BGP EVPN route processing when the l2vpn-evpn RIB telemetry sensor is subscribed, a Junos Telemetry Interface streaming configuration that is not enabled by default. The affected code path is only reachable by an attacker who has access to a configured BGP EVPN peer, meaning an established peering session is required. Successful exploitation corrupts memory in rpd, leading to a crash and interruption of routing protocols until the daemon restarts and reconverges. CPE entries identify the affected products as cpe:2.3:a:juniper_networks:junos_os and cpe:2.3:a:juniper_networks:junos_os_evolved. The CVSS vector indicates PR:N (no privileges required), but exploitation still demands the two preconditions noted above.

DescriptionCVE.org

An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an attacker with access to a configured BGP EVPN peer to cause a denial of service via BGP EVPN route processing when the l2vpn-evpn RIB telemetry sensor is subscribed. Successful exploitation can crash rpd and interrupt routing protocols until the daemon restarts and reconverges.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved carry a high-severity availability risk that can interrupt routing operations for organizations using BGP EVPN with the l2vpn-evpn RIB telemetry feed enabled. Affected organizations are those running impacted Junos releases with both EVPN peering and that telemetry subscription; the primary business concern is temporary network routing disruption, not data loss or remote compromise. A vendor patch is available per Juniper advisory JSA112187, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so leadership should prioritize identifying and patching the specific exposed devices.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
