Description

A Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') vulnerability in the advanced forwarding toolkit (evo-aftmand/evo-pfemand) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on PTX Series or QFX5000 Series allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).An attacker sending crafted multicast packets will cause line cards running evo-aftmand/evo-pfemand to crash and restart or non-line card devices to crash and restart. Continued receipt and processing of these packets will sustain the Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

This issue affects Junos OS Evolved PTX Series:

  • All versions before 22.4R3-S8-EVO,
  • from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S5-EVO,
  • from 23.4 before 23.4R2-EVO,
  • from 24.2 before 24.2R2-EVO,
  • from 24.4 before 24.4R2-EVO.

This issue affects Junos OS Evolved on QFX5000 Series:

  • 22.2-EVO version before 22.2R3-S7-EVO,
  • 22.4-EVO version before 22.4R3-S7-EVO,
  • 23.2-EVO versions before 23.2R2-S4-EVO,
  • 23.4-EVO versions before 23.4R2-S5-EVO,
  • 24.2-EVO versions before 24.2R2-S1-EVO,
  • 24.4-EVO versions before 24.4R1-S3-EVO, 24.4R2-EVO.

This issue does not affect Junos OS Evolved on QFX5000 Series versions before: 21.2R2-S1-EVO, 21.2R3-EVO, 21.3R2-EVO, 21.4R1-EVO, and 22.1R1-EVO.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached from an adjacent network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

  • Attack vector: Adjacent network — the attacker has to sit on the same local or logical network.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: None.
  • Integrity impact: None.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
