Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-09 22:16 - Updated: 2026-04-09 22:16
Severity ?
Summary
A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the BroadBand Edge subscriber management daemon (bbe-smgd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
If the authentication packet-type option is configured and a received packet does not match that packet type, the memory leak occurs. When all memory
available to bbe-smgd has been consumed, no new subscribers will be able to login.
The memory utilization of bbe-smgd can be monitored with the following show command:
user@host> show system processes extensive | match bbe-smgd
The below log message can be observed when this limit has been reached:
bbesmgd[<PID>]: %DAEMON-3-SMD_DPROF_RSMON_ERROR: Resource unavailability, Reason: Daemon Heap Memory exhaustion
This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series:
* all versions before 22.4R3-S8,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5,
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2,
* 24.4 versions before 24.4R2,
* 25.2 versions before 25.2R2.
