Juniper: Security Vulnerabilities
An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the chassis management daemon (chassisd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a
Denial-of-Service (DoS).
If an attempt is made to access specific sensors on platforms not supporting these sensors, either via GRPC or netconf, chassisd will crash and restart leading to a restart of all FPCs and thereby a complete outage.
This issue affects Junos OS:
* 21.4 versions from 21.4R3 before 21.4R3-S5,
* 22.1 versions from 22.1R3 before 22.1R3-S4,
* 22.2 versions from 22.2R2 before 22.2R3,
* 22.3 versions from 22.3R1 before 22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3,
* 22.4 versions from 22.4R1 before 22.4R2.
This issue does not affect Junos OS versions earlier than 21.4.

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on ACX7000 Series allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a
Denial-of-Service (DoS).
On all ACX 7000 Series platforms running
Junos OS Evolved, and configured with IRBs, if a Customer Edge device (CE) device is dual homed to two Provider Edge devices (PE) a traffic loop will occur when the CE sends multicast packets. This issue can be triggered by IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
This issue affects Junos OS Evolved:
All versions from 22.2R1-EVO and later versions before 22.4R2-EVO,
This issue does not affect Junos OS Evolved versions before 22.1R1-EVO.

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the flow daemon (flowd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on
SRX4600 and SRX5000 Series
allows an attacker to send TCP packets with
SYN/FIN or SYN/RST
flags, bypassing the expected blocking of these packets.
A TCP packet with SYN/FIN or SYN/RST should be dropped in flowd. However, when no-syn-check and Express Path are enabled, these TCP packets are unexpectedly transferred to the downstream network.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX4600 and SRX5000 Series:
* All versions before 21.2R3-S8,
* from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S7,
* from 22.1 before 22.1R3-S6,
* from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S4,
* from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3,

A Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime vulnerability the xinetd process, responsible for spawning SSH daemon (sshd) instances, of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated network-based attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by blocking SSH access for legitimate users. Continued receipt of these connections will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
The issue is triggered when a high rate of concurrent SSH requests are received and terminated in a specific way, causing xinetd to crash, and leaving defunct sshd processes. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability blocks both SSH access as well as services which rely upon SSH, such as SFTP, and Netconf over SSH.
Once the system is in this state, legitimate users will be unable to SSH to the device until service is manually restored. See WORKAROUND section below.
Administrators can monitor an increase in defunct sshd processes by utilizing the CLI command:
> show system processes | match sshd
root 25219 30901 0 Jul16 ? 00:00:00 [sshd] <defunct>
This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved:
* All versions prior to 21.4R3-S7-EVO
* 22.3-EVO versions prior to 22.3R2-S2-EVO, 22.3R3-S2-EVO;
* 22.4-EVO versions prior to 22.4R3-EVO;
* 23.2-EVO versions prior to 23.2R2-EVO.
This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved 22.1-EVO nor 22.2-EVO.

A Stack-Based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved may allow a local, low-privileged attacker with access to the CLI the ability to load a malicious certificate file, leading to a limited Denial of Service (DoS) or privileged code execution.
By exploiting the 'set security certificates' command with a crafted certificate file, a malicious attacker with access to the CLI could cause a crash of the command management daemon (mgd), limited to the local user's command interpreter, or potentially trigger a stack-based buffer overflow.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S7,
* from 22.1 before 22.1R3-S6,
* from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S4,
