Summary

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the cfmd process of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series and Junos OS Evolved on PTX Series platforms allows an unauthenticated adjacent-network attacker to execute arbitrary code as root or cause denial of service via a specific CFM Message sent to a configured down-MEP with enhanced CFM mode enabled.
