An Improper Following of Specification by Caller vulnerability in web management (J-Web, Captive Portal, 802.1X, Juniper Secure Connect (JSC) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series, EX Series, MX240, MX480, MX960, QFX5120 Series, allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker, sending genuine traffic targeted to the device to cause the CPU to climb until the device becomes unresponsive.
Continuous receipt of these packets will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
This issue affects Junos OS:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S9,
* from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5,
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S4,
* from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3,
* from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S3,
* from 24.2 before 24.2R1-S1, 24.2R2.
An indicator of compromise is to review the CPU % of the httpd process in the CLI:
e.g.
show system processes extensive | match httpd PID nobody 52 0 20M 191M select 2 0:01 80.00% httpd{httpd} <<<<< the percentage of httpd usage if high may be an indicator

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the pfe (packet forwarding engine) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series causes a port within a pool to be blocked leading to Denial of Service (DoS).
In a DS-Lite (Dual-Stack Lite) and NAT (Network Address Translation) scenario, when crafted IPv6 traffic is received and prefix-length is set to 56, the ports assigned to the user will not be freed. Eventually, users cannot establish new connections. Affected FPC/PIC need to be manually restarted to recover.
Following is the command to identify the issue:
user@host> show services nat source port-block
Host_IP External_IP Port_Block Ports_Used/ Block_State/

A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause an FPC to crash, leading to Denial of Service (DoS).
On all Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved platforms, in an EVPN-VXLAN scenario, when specific ARP packets are received on an IPv4 network, or specific NDP packets are received on an IPv6 network, kernel heap memory leaks, which eventually leads to an FPC crash and restart.
This issue does not affect MX Series platforms.

This is a similar, but different vulnerability than the issue reported as CVE-2024-39549.
A double-free vulnerability in the routing process daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an attacker to send a malformed BGP Path attribute update which allocates memory used to log the bad path attribute. This double free of memory is causing an rpd crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
This issue affects:
Junos OS: * from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S4.
Junos OS Evolved: * from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S4-EVO.

This issue requires a BGP session to be established.
This issue can propagate and multiply through multiple ASes until reaching vulnerable devices.
This issue affects iBGP and eBGP.
This issue affects IPv4 and IPv6.
An indicator of compromise may be the presence of malformed update messages in a neighboring AS which is unaffected by this issue:
For example, by issuing the command on the neighboring device:
show log messages
Reviewing for similar messages from devices within proximity to each other may indicate this malformed packet is propagating:
rpd[<pid>]: Received malformed update from <IP address> (External AS <AS#>)
and
rpd[<pid>]: Malformed Attribute
