Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions

Summary

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local, low-privileged attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS). When a specific "show bgp neighbor" CLI command is run, the rpd cpu utilization rises and eventually causes a crash and restart. Repeated use of this command will cause a sustained DoS condition.  The device is only affected if BGP RIB sharding and update-threading is enabled. This issue affects Junos OS:  * All versions before 21.2R3-S9,  * from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S8, * from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S6,  * from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S2,  * from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3,  * from 23.4 before 23.4R2. and Junos OS Evolved:  * All versions before 21.2R3-S9-EVO,  * from 21.4-EVO before 21.4R3-S8-EVO,  * from 22.2-EVO before 22.2R3-S6-EVO,  * from 22.4-EVO before 22.4R3-S2-EVO,  * from 23.2-EVO before 23.2R2-S3-EVO,  * from 23.4-EVO before 23.4R2-EVO.
