Juniper: >> Junos Os Evolved >> 21.2 Security Vulnerabilities
A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the Periodic Packet Management Daemon (ppmd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to cause a
Denial-of-Service (DoS).
When a BFD session configured with authentication flaps, ppmd memory can leak. Whether the leak happens depends on a race condition which is outside the attackers control. This issue only affects BFD operating in distributed aka delegated (which is the default behavior) or inline mode.
Whether the leak occurs can be monitored with the following CLI command:
> show ppm request-queue
FPC Pending-request
fpc0 2
request-total-pending: 2
where a continuously increasing number of pending requests is indicative of the leak.

An Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on ACX 7000 Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a limited information disclosure and availability impact to the device.
Due to a wrong initialization, specific processes which should only be able to communicate internally within the device can be reached over the network via open ports.
This issue affects Junos OS Evolved on ACX 7000 Series:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S7-EVO,
* 22.2-EVO

An Improper Handling of Values vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on ACX 7000 Series allows a network-based, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
If a value is configured for DDoS bandwidth or burst parameters for any protocol in
a queue, all protocols which share the same queue will have
their bandwidth or burst value changed to the new value. If, for example, OSPF was configured with a certain bandwidth value, ISIS would also be limited to this value. So inadvertently either the control plane is open for a high level of specific traffic which was supposed to be limited to a lower value, or the limit for a certain protocol is so low that chances to succeed with a volumetric DoS attack are significantly increased.
This issue affects Junos OS Evolved on ACX 7000 Series:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S7-EVO,
* 22.1 versions before 22.1R3-S6-EVO,
* 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S3-EVO,
* 22.3 versions before 22.3R3-S3-EVO,
* 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S2-EVO,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-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 logically adjacent downstream RSVP neighbor to cause kernel memory exhaustion, leading to a kernel crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
The kernel memory leak and eventual crash will be seen when the downstream RSVP neighbor has a persistent error which will not be corrected.
System kernel memory can be monitored through the use of the 'show system kernel memory' command as shown below:
user@router> show system kernel memory
Real memory total/reserved: 4130268/ 133344 Kbytes
kmem map free: 18014398509110220 Kbytes

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.
