Summary

A NULL pointer dereference in the routing-policy nexthop-ECMP matcher of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a configured eBGP peer to cause a routing-daemon denial of service via a specific BGP packet received while a nexthop-ecmp qualifier is attached to a BGP import policy.

Risk Assessment

A remote eBGP peer can crash the routing process, causing network outages.

Recommendation

Install the vendor patch; until then, consider removing the nexthop-ecmp qualifier from BGP import policies or limiting trusted eBGP peers.
