Vulnerability identifier: #VU88489
Vulnerability risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [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]
CVE-ID:
CWE-ID:
CWE-820
Exploitation vector: Local network
Exploit availability: No
Vulnerable software:
Juniper Junos OS
Operating systems & Components /
Operating system
Vendor: Juniper Networks, Inc.
Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a missing synchronization error in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE). A remote authenticated attacker on the local network can cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
If an interface flaps while the system gathers statistics on that interface, two processes simultaneously access a shared resource which leads to a PFE crash and restart.
Mitigation
Install updates from vendor's website.
