CVE-2024-39515
Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: With BGP traceoptions enabled, receipt of specifically malformed BGP update causes RPD crash
In short
When BGP traceoptions logging is turned on, a malformed BGP network packet can crash the routing daemon (rpd) on Juniper routers, causing the router to lose connectivity until manually restarted. An attacker with network access can repeatedly send these packets to keep the router down.
Technical detail
The routing protocol daemon (rpd) fails to properly validate BGP update packets when traceoptions are enabled, allowing an unauthenticated network-based attacker with an established BGP session to send a specifically crafted malformed packet that triggers an unhandled condition, causing rpd crash and DoS. In certain scenarios, rpd cannot auto-restart and requires manual intervention via CLI commands.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
An Improper Validation of Consistency within Input vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated network-based attacker sending a specifically malformed BGP packet to cause rpd to crash and restart, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Continued receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
In some cases, rpd fails to restart requiring a manual restart via the 'restart routing' CLI command.
This issue only affects systems with BGP traceoptions enabled and
requires a BGP session to be already established. Systems without BGP traceoptions enabled are not affected by this issue.
This issue affects iBGP and eBGP, and both IPv4 and IPv6 are affected by this vulnerability.
