What it is

An Untrusted Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local, authenticated attacker with low privileges to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

When the command 'show route < ( receive-protocol | advertising-protocol ) bgp > detail' is executed, and at least one of the routes in the intended output has specific attributes, this will cause an rpd crash and restart.

'show route ... extensive' is not affected.

* all versions before 22.4R3-S8,

* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5,

* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S5,

* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2,
