GHSA-P52F-FG64-JQXW
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-09 18:32 – Updated: 2025-01-28 00:32
VLAI
Details
An Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability in
the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of
Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, logically adjacent BGP peer sending a specifically malformed BGP packet to cause rpd to crash and restart, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Continued receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
This issue only affects systems configured in either of two ways:
* systems with BGP traceoptions enabled
* systems with BGP family traffic-engineering (BGP-LS)
configured
and can be exploited from a directly connected and configured BGP peer.
This issue affects iBGP and eBGP
with
any address family
configured, and both IPv4 and IPv6 are affected by this vulnerability.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
- All versions before 21.4R3-S9,
- from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5,
- from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S4,
- from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S5,
- from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3,
- from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S3,
- from 24.2 before 24.2R1-S2, 24.2R2;
Junos OS Evolved:
- All versions before 21.4R3-S9-EVO,
- from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5-EVO,
- from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S4-EVO,
- from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S5-EVO,
- from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3-EVO,
- from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S2-EVO,
- from 24.2 before 24.2R1-S2-EVO, 24.2R2-EVO.
This is a similar, but different vulnerability than the issue reported as CVE-2024-39516.

Implementation
Strategy: Input Validation
- Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
- When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
- Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
- To reduce the likelihood of introducing an out-of-bounds read, ensure that you validate and ensure correct calculations for any length argument, buffer size calculation, or offset. Be especially careful of relying on a sentinel (i.e. special character such as NUL) in untrusted inputs.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Strategy: Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
CAPEC-540: Overread Buffers
An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
