CVE-2024-21598
Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: A malformed BGP tunnel encapsulation attribute will lead to an rpd crash
In short
A flaw in Juniper routers allows an attacker on the network to crash the routing system by sending a specially malformed BGP message. When this happens, the router restarts, interrupting all traffic passing through it.
Technical detail
An improper validation vulnerability in the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) of Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a network-based unauthenticated attacker to trigger a DoS via a crafted BGP update containing a malformed tunnel encapsulation attribute TLV. Upon receipt over an established BGP session, the malformed input causes rpd to crash and restart, disrupting routing services.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
An Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input vulnerability in the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a network-based, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
If a BGP update is received over an established BGP session which contains a tunnel encapsulation attribute with a specifically malformed TLV, rpd will crash and restart.
