V2 - Validation and Business Logic Input size validation
Exploitation Conditions

The target must have EVPN signaling configured with SRv6 carried in route updates, and the attacker must be positioned as a configured EVPN signaling peer of the victim (an established routing adjacency/trust relationship) - it is not exploitable by an arbitrary off-path remote host. The attack then requires sending a single malformed SRv6 structure within an EVPN route update to crash rpd. Limiting factors: devices without EVPN/SRv6 configured are not affected, exploitation requires an existing peering session (so the attacker must own or compromise a peer), and the impact is confined to availability (routing-plane DoS) with no data exposure.

Impact

The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) scores 8.7 and portrays this as a remotely reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity flaw, but the impact profile is availability-only (VC:N/VI:N/VA:H) with a partial subsequent-system effect (SA:L) - there is no confidentiality or integrity exposure, so this is strictly a denial-of-service issue. The most important caveat is that the description explicitly requires 'a configured EVPN signaling peer': despite PR:N, exploitation presupposes that the attacker already holds, or has compromised, an established EVPN peering adjacency with SRv6 signaling in use, which is a meaningful positioning requirement that raw PR:N obscures. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation - the 8.7 reflects potential blast radius (routing-plane DoS on core/edge devices), not demonstrated exploitation. Net: a genuine priority for operators running EVPN/SRv6 fabrics because an rpd crash drops routing adjacencies, but the trusted-peer precondition makes this far less broadly exploitable than the network/unauthenticated metrics suggest - treat it as a patch-promptly item for EVPN-SRv6 deployments rather than an internet-wide emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who controls or has compromised a device configured as an EVPN signaling peer sends an EVPN route update containing a malformed SRv6 structure to a vulnerable Junos OS or Junos Evolved router. The improper quantity validation in rpd triggers a crash, tearing down routing adjacencies and causing a denial of service. No public exploit code was provided in the available intelligence, and the attacker must already be an established EVPN peer rather than an arbitrary remote host.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026

A malformed SRv6 structure within an EVPN route update can crash the routing protocol daemon (rpd) on Juniper Junos OS and Junos Evolved, causing a denial of service that disrupts routing adjacencies. The vulnerability affects specific versions of Junos OS and Junos Evolved, and exploitation requires the attacker to be a configured EVPN signaling peer with SRv6 enabled; it is not exploitable by arbitrary off-path hosts. While the CVSS 4.0 score is 8.7, the impact is availability-only; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vendor has released patches.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patches: for Junos OS, upgrade to 23.4R2-S8.13, 24.2R2-S5.5, 24.4R2-S5, 25.2R2-S2, 25.4R1-S3, or 26.2R1-S2 (or later); for Junos OS Evolved, upgrade to 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, or the respective X100/X300 fixed releases (25.2X100-D35-EVO, 25.4X300-D40-EVO, and 23.4X100 fixed in 26.2R1-S2-EVO). Refer to Juniper advisory JSA112187 (https://supportportal.juniper.net/JSA112187). If patching is delayed, restrict EVPN peering to trusted routers and disable SRv6 if not required; however, these measures may disrupt routing if EVPN/SRv6 are in use, and they do not fully eliminate the risk if a trusted peer is compromised.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper's Junos OS and Junos Evolved. It stems from improper validation of a specified quantity in an SRv6 structure carried in an EVPN (Ethernet VPN) route update, classified as CWE-1284. EVPN is used for multi-tenant network virtualization, and SRv6 (Segment Routing over IPv6) provides traffic engineering; a peer can send a crafted update that triggers insufficient bounds checking, leading to an rpd crash. Affected products are identified by CPE as juniper_networks:junos_os and juniper_networks:junos_os_evolved.

DescriptionCVE.org

An Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos Evolved platforms allows a configured EVPN signaling peer to cause an rpd crash via a malformed SRv6 structure carried in an EVPN route update. The result is a denial of service affecting routing adjacencies.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity availability flaw in Juniper Junos OS and Junos Evolved allows a peer already configured for EVPN signaling with SRv6 enabled to crash the routing protocol daemon, severing routing adjacencies and disrupting network traffic. Organizations running affected Junos releases in service-provider, data-center, or WAN edge roles are exposed, and a successful crash could stall route convergence and degrade or interrupt customer-facing connectivity. Because the trigger is a malformed routing update rather than a local compromise, leadership should treat this as a network-resilience and service-continuity risk rather than a data-breach risk.
