Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of syntactically invalid structure error in Object Flooding Protocol (OFP) service. A remote non-authenticated attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
On all Junos OS Evolved platforms, when specific TCP packets are received on an open OFP port, the OFP crashes leading to a restart of Routine Engine (RE).
Continuous receipt of these specific TCP packets will lead to a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
Mitigation
Install updates from vendor's website.
