Junos OS: SRX Series: A device configured for vector routing crashes when receiving malformed traffic

An Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

When a device configured for Secure Vector Routing (SVR) receives a specifically malformed packet the PFE will crash and restart.

This issue affects Junos OS on SRX Series:

* All 21.4 versions,

* 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S6,

* 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S6,

* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S3,

* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S4,

* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2.

This issue does not affect versions before 21.4.
