Vulnerability CVE-2024-21595
Published: 2024-01-12
| Description: |
An Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows a network-based, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
If an attacker sends high rate of specific ICMP traffic to a device with VXLAN configured, this causes a deadlock of the PFE and results in the device becoming unresponsive. A manual restart will be required to recover the device.
This issue only affects EX4100, EX4400, EX4600, QFX5000 Series devices.
This issue affects:
Juniper Networks Junos OS
