An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the flow processing daemon (flowd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX4600 and SRX5000 Series allows an unauthenticated and logically adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
If in a multicast scenario a sequence of
specific PIM packets is received, this will cause a flowd crash and restart, which leads to momentary service interruption.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX 4600 and SRX 5000 Series:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S9,
* 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S5,

A NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows a local, low-privileged attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
When a specific command is executed, the pfe crashes. This will cause traffic forwarding to be interrupted until the system self-recovers. Repeated execution will create a sustained DoS condition.
This issue only affects MX Series devices with Line cards MPC1-MPC9.
This issue affects:
Junos OS on MX Series:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S9,
* from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5,
* from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S4,
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S2,
* from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S1,

An Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in the http daemon (httpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series, QFX Series, MX Series and EX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause Denial-of-Service (DoS).
An attacker can send specific HTTPS connection requests to the device, triggering the creation of processes that are not properly terminated. Over time, this leads to resource exhaustion, ultimately causing the device to crash and restart.
The following command can be used to monitor the resource usage:
user@host> show system processes extensive | match mgd | count
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX Series and EX Series:
All versions before 21.4R3-S7,
from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S4,
from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3,
from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S2,
from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S1,
from 23.4 before 23.4R1-S2, 23.4R2.

An Unimplemented or Unsupported Feature in UI vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on QFX5000 Series allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
Several configuration statements meant to enforce limits on MAC learning and moves can be configured but do not take effect. This can lead to control plane overload situations which will severely impact the ability of the device to processes legitimate traffic.
This issue affects Junos OS Evolved on QFX5000 Series:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S8-EVO,
* 22.2-EVO versions before 22.2R3-S5-EVO,

An Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a network-based, unauthenticated attacker to cause Denial of Service (DoS).
When a BGP UPDATE with malformed path attribute is received over an established BGP session, rpd crashes and restarts.
Continuous receipt of a BGP UPDATE with a specifically malformed path attribute will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition for impacted devices. While this issue affects systems running 32-bit and 64-bit systems, the probability of impact on 64-bit system is extremely low.
According to KB25803 https://supportportal.juniper.net/s/article/Junos-How-to-check-if-Junos-OS-is-64-or-32-bit-on-a-router , customers can confirm 32-bit or 64-bit system via the ' show version detail ' command:
lab@router> show version detail| match 32
JUNOS 32-bit kernel Software Suite
lab@router> show version detail| match 64
JUNOS 64-bit kernel Software Suite

A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of the Juniper Networks Junos OS on the MX Series platforms with Trio-based FPCs allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
In case of channelized Modular Interface Cards (MICs), every physical interface flap operation will leak heap memory. Over a period of time, continuous physical interface flap operations causes local FPC to eventually run out of memory and crash.
Below CLI command can be used to check the memory usage over a period of time:
user@host> show chassis fpc
Temp CPU Utilization (%) CPU Utilization (%) Memory
Utilization (%)
Slot State (C) Total Interrupt 1min 5min
15min DRAM (MB) Heap Buffer

A Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability in the AgentD process of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an attacker who is already causing impact to established sessions which generates counter changes picked up by the AgentD process during telemetry polling, to move the AgentD process into a state where AgentD attempts to reap an already destroyed sensor. This reaping attempt then leads to memory corruption causing the FPC to crash which is a Denial of Service (DoS).
The FPC will recover automatically without user intervention after the crash.
This issue affects Junos OS:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S9
* From 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5,
* From 22.3 before 22.3R3-S4,
