Description

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions in the Packet Forwarding Engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on PTX10003 Series allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to cause an impact to the integrity of the system.

When specific transit MPLS packets are received by the PFE, these packets are internally forwarded to the RE. This issue is a prerequisite for CVE-2023-44195.

This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved:

  • All versions prior to 20.4R3-S8-EVO;
  • 21.1-EVO version 21.1R1-EVO and later;
  • 21.2-EVO versions prior to 21.2R3-S6-EVO;
  • 21.3-EVO version 21.3R1-EVO and later;
  • 21.4-EVO versions prior to 21.4R3-S3-EVO;
  • 22.1-EVO versions prior to 22.1R3-S4-EVO;
  • 22.2-EVO versions prior to 22.2R3-S3-EVO;
  • 22.3-EVO versions prior to 22.3R2-S2-EVO, 22.3R3-EVO;
  • 22.4-EVO versions prior to 22.4R2-EVO.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
