Summary

A NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the PFE management daemon (evo-pfemand) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on ACX7024, ACX7024X, ACX7100-32C, ACX7100-48L, ACX7348, ACX7509 devices allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS). Whenever specific valid multicast traffic is received on any layer 3 interface, the evo-pfemand process crashes and restarts. Continued receipt of specific valid multicast traffic results in a sustained Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. This issue affects Junos OS Evolved on ACX7024, ACX7024X, ACX7100-32C, ACX7100-48L, ACX7348, ACX7509: from 23.2R2-EVO before 23.2R2-S4-EVO, from 23.4R1-EVO before 23.4R2-EVO.

Risk Assessment

An attacker from an adjacent network can cause a sustained denial of service on Juniper devices, disrupting network operations and communication.

Recommendation

Update Junos OS Evolved to version 23.2R2-S4-EVO or 23.4R2-EVO (depending on the branch) to fix the vulnerability.
