A Reachable Assertion vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evol

A Reachable Assertion vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).On all Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved devices, when route validation is enabled, a rare condition during BGP initial session establishment can lead to an rpd crash and restart. This occurs specifically when the connection request fails during error-handling scenario. Continued session establishment failures leads to a sustained DoS condition. This issue affects Junos OS: All versions before 22.2R3-S6, from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S6, from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3, from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S4, * from 24.2 before 24.2R2.

Junos OS Evolved: All versions before 22.2R3-S6-EVO, from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S6-EVO, from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3-EVO, from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S4-EVO, * from 24.2 before 24.2R2-EVO.
