Title:	Juniper Networks Junos OS OpenSSH Restriction Bypass Vulnerability
Summary:	Junos OS is prone to a restriction bypass vulnerability in OpenSSH.
Description:	Summary: Junos OS is prone to a restriction bypass vulnerability in OpenSSH. Vulnerability Insight: A vulnerability in OpenSSH may allow a remote network based attacker to effectively bypass restrictions on number of authentication attempts, as defined by MaxAuthTries settings on Junos. Vulnerability Impact: The vulnerability may enable brute force password attacks to gain access to the device. Affected Software/OS: Junos OS 12.1, 12.3, 13.2, 13.3, 14.1, 14.2 and 15.1 Solution: New builds of Junos OS software are available from Juniper.
