Description A Reachable Assertion vulnerability in the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
When the device receives a specific BGP UPDATE packet, the rpd crashes and restarts. Continuous receipt of this specific packet will cause a sustained DoS condition.
For the issue to occur, BGP multipath with "pause-computation-during-churn" must be configured on the device, and the attacker must send the paths via a BGP UPDATE from a established BGP peer.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S7,
* from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3,
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S5,
* from 23.2 before 23.2R2,
* from 23.4 before 23.4R2.
Junos OS Evolved:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S7-EVO,
* from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3-EVO,
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S5-EVO,
* from 23.2 before 23.2R2-EVO,
* from 23.4 before 23.4R2-EVO.
A reachable assertion vulnerability has been identified in the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. The issue arises when the device receives a specific BGP UPDATE packet, causing the rpd to crash and restart. Continuous receipt of this packet leads to a sustained DoS condition. For exploitation, BGP multipath with 'pause-computation-during-churn' must be configured, and the attacker must send the paths via a BGP UPDATE from an established BGP peer.
Users can upgrade to Junos OS versions 21.4R3-S7, 22.3R3-S3, 22.4R3-S5, 23.2R2, 23.4R2, 24.2R1, and all subsequent releases. For Junos OS Evolved, versions 21.4R3-S7-EVO, 22.3R3-S3-EVO, 22.4R3-S5-EVO, 23.2R2-EVO, 23.4R2-EVO, 24.2R1-EVO, and all subsequent releases are available. This issue can also be mitigated by disabling the 'pause-computation-during-churn' command in the BGP multipath configuration.
