An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the the Public Key Infrastructure daemon (pkid) of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an unauthenticated networked attacker to cause Denial of Service (DoS).
The pkid is responsible for the certificate verification. Upon a failed verification, the pkid uses all CPU resources and becomes unresponsive to future verification attempts. This means that all subsequent VPN negotiations depending on certificate verification will fail.
This CPU utilization of pkid can be checked using this command:
root@srx> show system processes extensive | match pkid
xxxxx root 103 0 846M 136M CPU1 1 569:00 100.00% pkid
This issue affects:

An Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
When a high amount of specific traffic is received on a SRX4600 device, due to an error in internal packet handling, a consistent rise in CPU memory utilization occurs. This results in packet drops in the traffic and eventually the PFE crashes. A manual reboot of the PFE will be required to restore the device to original state.
This issue affects Junos OS:
* 21.2 before 21.2R3-S7,
* 21.4 before 21.4R3-S6,
* 22.1 before 22.1R3-S5,
* 22.2 before 22.2R3-S3,
* 22.3 before 22.3R3-S2,
* 22.4 before 22.4R3,
* 23.2 before 23.2R1-S2, 23.2R2.
An Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in the advanced forwarding management process aftman of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series with MPC10E, MPC11, MX10K-LC9600 line cards, MX304, and EX9200-15C, may allow an attacker to exploit a stack-based buffer overflow, leading to a reboot of the FPC.
Through code review, it was determined that the interface definition code for aftman could read beyond a buffer boundary, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow.
This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series and EX9200-15C:
* from 21.2 before 21.2R3-S1,
* from 21.4 before 21.4R3,
* from 22.1 before 22.1R2,
* from 22.2 before 22.2R2;
This issue does not affect:
* versions of Junos OS prior to 20.3R1;
* any version of Junos OS 20.4.
An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Layer 2 Address Learning Daemon (l2ald) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
When telemetry requests are sent to the device, and the Dynamic Rendering Daemon (drend) is suspended, the l2ald crashes and restarts due to factors outside the attackers control. Repeated occurrences of these events causes a sustained DoS condition.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* All versions earlier than 20.4R3-S10;
* 21.2 versions earlier than 21.2R3-S7;

An Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on QFX5000 Series and EX Series allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
If a specific malformed LACP packet is received by a QFX5000 Series, or an EX4400, EX4100 or EX4650 Series device, an LACP flap will occur resulting in traffic loss.
This issue affects Junos OS on QFX5000 Series, and on EX4400, EX4100 or EX4650 Series:
* 20.4 versions from
20.4R3-S4
before 20.4R3-S8,

* 22.3 versions before 22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3,
* 22.4 versions before 22.4R2-S1, 22.4R3.
A Use-After-Free vulnerability in the Layer 2 Address Learning Daemon (l2ald)
of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause l2ald to crash leading to a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
In an EVPN-VXLAN scenario, when
state updates are received and processed by the affected system, the correct order of some processing steps is not ensured, which can lead to an l2ald crash and restart. Whether the crash occurs depends on system internal timing which is outside the attackers control.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* All versions before 20.4R3-S8,
* 21.2 versions before 21.2R3-S6,
* 21.3 versions before 21.3R3-S5,
* 21.4 versions before 21.4R3-S4,
* 22.1 versions before 22.1R3-S3,

A Missing Synchronization vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on ACX5448 and ACX710 allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to 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.
This issue affects Junos OS:
* All versions before 20.4R3-S9,
* 21.2 versions before 21.2R3-S5,
* 21.3 versions before 21.3R3-S5,
* 21.4 versions before 21.4R3-S4,
* 22.1 versions before 22.1R3-S2,
* 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S2,
* 22.3 versions before 22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3,
* 22.4 versions before 22.4R2.
An Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS SRX 5000 Series devices using SPC2 line cards while ALGs are enabled allows an attacker sending specific crafted packets to cause a transit traffic Denial of Service (DoS).
Continued receipt and processing of these specific packets will sustain the Denial of Service condition.
This issue affects:
Juniper Networks Junos OS SRX 5000 Series with SPC2 with ALGs enabled.
* All versions earlier than 21.2R3-S7;
* 21.4 versions earlier than 21.4R3-S6;
* 22.1 versions earlier than 22.1R3-S5;
* 22.2 versions earlier than 22.2R3-S3;
* 22.3 versions earlier than 22.3R3-S2;
* 22.4 versions earlier than 22.4R3;
* 23.2 versions earlier than 23.2R2.
An Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local, low-privileged attacker to access confidential information on the system.
On all Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved platforms, when NETCONF traceoptions are configured, and a super-user performs specific actions via NETCONF, then a low-privileged user can access sensitive information compromising the confidentiality of the system.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* all versions before 21.2R3-S7,
* from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S5,
* from 22.1 before 22.1R3-S5,
* from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S3,
* from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S2,
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3,
* from 23.2 before 23.2R1-S2.
Junos OS Evolved:

* from 23.2 before 23.2R1-S2.
An Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer vulnerability in the Layer-2 Control Protocols Daemon (l2cpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause Denial of Service (DoS).
On all Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved platforms, when LLDP is enabled on a specific interface, and a malformed LLDP packet is received, l2cpd crashes and restarts. The impact of the l2cpd crash is reinitialization of STP protocols (RSTP, MSTP or VSTP), and MVRP and ERP. Also, if any services depend on LLDP state (like PoE or VoIP device recognition), then these will also be affected.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S4,
* from 22.1 before 22.1R3-S4,
* from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S2,
* from 22.3 before 22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3-S1,
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3,
* from 23.2 before 23.2R2.
