Category:JunOS Local Security Checks
Title:Juniper Networks Junos OS Kernel Crash With Crafted ICMP Packet Vulnerability
Summary:Junos OS is prone to a kernel crash vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Junos OS is prone to a kernel crash vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
On Junos devices with a GRE or IPIP tunnel configured (i.e., devices
with a gr- or ip- interface), a specifically crafted ICMP packet can cause a kernel panic resulting in a
denial of service condition.

Knowledge of network specific information is required to craft such an ICMP packet. Receipt of such a packet
on any interface on the device can cause a crash.

Devices that do not have any gr- or ip- interfaces are unaffected by this issue.

Vulnerability Impact:
An attacker may cause a kernel panic which leads to a denial of service
condition.

Affected Software/OS:
Junos OS 12.1, 12.3, 13.3, 14.1, 14.2 and 15.1

Solution:
New builds of Junos OS software are available from Juniper.

CVSS Score:
7.1

CVSS Vector:
