Summary

An Improper Release of Memory Before Removing Last Reference vulnerability in the l2cpd process of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved platforms allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to cause l2cpd memory exhaustion and Layer 2 control-plane disruption via LLDP traffic when fast receive processing is enabled.

Risk Assessment

An attacker on an adjacent network can cause memory exhaustion and destabilize Layer 2 control protocols, leading to network service disruption.

Recommendation

Upgrade Junos OS / Junos OS Evolved to a fixed release and consider restricting LLDP traffic on unused interfaces.
