Juniper: >> Srx1500 Security Vulnerabilities
An Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
When a device configured for Secure Vector Routing (SVR) receives a specifically malformed packet the PFE will crash and restart.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX Series:
* All 21.4 versions,
* 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S6,
* 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S6,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S3,
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S4,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2.
This issue does not affect versions before 21.4.

An Improper Handling of Additional Special Element vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series with MS-MPC, MS-MIC and SPC3, and SRX Series, allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
If the SIP ALG processes specifically formatted SIP invites, a memory corruption will occur which will lead to a crash of the FPC processing these packets. Although the system will automatically recover with the restart of the FPC, subsequent SIP invites will cause the crash again and lead to a sustained DoS.
This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series and SRX Series:
* all versions before 21.2R3-S9,
* 21.4 versions before 21.4R3-S10,
* 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S6,
* 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S5,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S3,
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S3,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R1-S2, 24.2R2.

A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the Anti-Virus processing of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series
allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
On all SRX platforms with Anti-Virus enabled, if a server sends specific content in the HTTP body of a response to a client request, these packets are queued by Anti-Virus processing in Juniper Buffers (jbufs) which are never released. When these jbufs are exhausted, the device stops forwarding all transit traffic.
A jbuf memory leak can be noticed from the following logs:
(<node>.)<fpc> Warning: jbuf pool id <#> utilization level (<current level>%) is above <threshold>%!
To recover from this issue, the affected device needs to be manually rebooted to free the leaked jbufs.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX Series:
* all versions before 21.2R3-S9,
* 21.4 versions before 21.4R3-S10,
* 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S6,
* 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S6,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S3,
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S3,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2.

A NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the flow daemon (flowd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an attacker causing specific, valid control traffic to be sent out of a Dual-Stack (DS) Lite tunnel to crash the flowd process, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Continuous triggering of specific control traffic will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
On all SRX platforms, when specific, valid control traffic needs to be sent out of a DS-Lite tunnel, a segmentation fault occurs within the flowd process, resulting in a network outage until the flowd process restarts.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX Series:
* All versions before 21.2R3-S9,
* from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S9,
* from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5,
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S6,
* from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3,
* from 23.4 before 23.4R2.

An Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the command-line interface (CLI) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series devices allows a local, low-privileged user with access to the Junos CLI to view the contents of sensitive files on the file system.
Through the execution of either 'show services advanced-anti-malware' or 'show services security-intelligence' command, a user with limited permissions (e.g., a low privilege login class user) can access protected files that should not be accessible to the user. These files may contain sensitive information that can be used to cause further impact to the system.
This issue affects Junos OS SRX Series:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S8,
* from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5,
* from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3,
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S2,
* from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S1,

An Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the command-line processing of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX1500, SRX4100, and SRX4200 devices allows a local, low-privileged authenticated attacker executing the 'show chassis environment pem' command to cause the chassis daemon (chassisd) to crash and restart, resulting in a temporary Denial of Service (DoS). However, repeated execution of this command will eventually cause the chassisd process to fail to restart, impacting packet processing on the system.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX1500, SRX4100, SRX4200:
* 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-S4,

A Deadlock vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
When a large amount of traffic is processed by ATP Cloud inspection, a deadlock can occur which will result in a PFE crash and restart. Whether the crash occurs, depends on system internal timing that is outside the attackers control.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX Series:
* All versions before 21.3R3-S1,
* 21.4 versions before 21.4R3,
* 22.1 versions before 22.1R2,
* 22.2 versions before 22.2R1-S2, 22.2R2.

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.
