Description:
A Use of Externally-Controlled Format String vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

This issue affects Junos OS:
* All versions before 21.4R3-S6,
* 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S3,
* 22.3 versions before 22.3R3-S3,
