Description

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in Routing Protocol Daemon (RPD) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a network-based, unauthenticated attacker to cause rpd to crash, leading to Denial of Service (DoS).

On all Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved platforms, when NETCONF and gRPC are enabled, and a specific query is executed via Dynamic Rendering (DREND), rpd will crash and restart. Continuous execution of this specific query will cause a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

This issue affects:

Juniper Networks Junos OS

  • 22.2 versions earlier than 22.2R2-S2, 22.2R3;
  • 22.3 versions earlier than 22.3R2, 22.3R3.

Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved

  • 22.2 versions earlier than 22.2R2-S2-EVO, 22.2R3-EVO;
  • 22.3 versions earlier than 22.3R2-EVO, 22.3R3-EVO.

This issue does not affect Juniper Networks:

Junos OS versions earlier than 22.2R1;

Junos OS Evolved versions earlier than 22.2R1-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.
