CVE-2017-2345
CriticalSummary
On Junos OS devices with SNMP enabled, a network-based attacker with unfiltered access to the RE can cause the snmpd daemon to crash and restart by sending a crafted SNMP packet. Repeated crashes can lead to a partial denial of service condition and may allow for remote code execution.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may experience partial denial of service, impacting the availability of network services. Additionally, the potential for remote code execution poses a serious security threat.
Recommendation
It is recommended to disable SNMP on Junos OS devices if it is not necessary. If SNMP is in use, update the system to the latest version to minimize risk.
Original NVD description (English source)
On Junos OS devices with SNMP enabled, a network based attacker with unfiltered access to the RE can cause the Junos OS snmpd daemon to crash and restart by sending a crafted SNMP packet. Repeated crashes of the snmpd daemon can result in a partial denial of service condition. Additionally, it may be possible to craft a malicious SNMP packet in a way that can result in remote code execution. SNMP is disabled in Junos OS by default. Junos OS devices with SNMP disabled are not affected by this issue. No other Juniper Networks products or platforms are affected by this issue.
