Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds write error in Flow Processing Daemon (flowd). A remote non-authenticated attacker can cause Denial of Service (DoS).
On SRX Series devices using Unified Policies with IPv6, when a specific IPv6 packet goes through a dynamic-application filter which will generate an ICMP deny message, the flowd core is observed and the PFE is restarted.
