Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-36848)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the periodic packet management daemon (PPMD) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series(except MPC10, MPC11 and LC9600). A remote attacker on the local network can send a malformed CFM packet to the affected device and crash the FPC.
