Summary

A stack-based buffer overflow in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated adjacent LDP peer to crash rpd or execute arbitrary code via a malformed LDP Label Mapping message.

Risk Assessment

An attacker on an adjacent network segment can remotely crash routing or achieve code execution, causing network outages or full device compromise.

Recommendation

Apply the vendor update for Junos OS/Junos OS Evolved as soon as possible and restrict trust to LDP peers by filtering traffic and enabling LDP session authentication.
