Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: An unauthenticated adjacent attacker sending a valid BGP UPDATE packet forces a BGP session reset

An Expected Behavior Violation vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker sending a valid BGP UPDATE packet to cause a BGP session reset, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Continuous receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
