GHSA-X7C3-Q65H-RWRM
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-09 21:31 – Updated: 2026-07-09 21:31An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in the SNMP daemon (snmpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an authenticated network-based attacker sending specific valid SNMPv3 queries to trigger a memory leak. Over time, continuous receipt of these queries will result in snmpd process memory exhaustion, resulting in a process crash and restart, impacting the ability to monitor the system via SNMP.
Memory usage can be monitored using the following command:
user@device> show system processes extensive | match snmpd
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
- all versions before 21.2R3-S8;
- from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S7;
- from 22.1 before 22.1R3-S6;
- from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S4;
- from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3;
- from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S2;
- from 23.2 before 23.2R2;
- from 23.4 before 23.4R2.
Junos OS Evolved: * all versions before 21.2R3-S8-EVO; * from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S7-EVO; * all versions of 22.1-EVO, * from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S4-EVO; * from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3-EVO; * all versions of 22.4-EVO, * from 23.2 before 23.2R2-EVO; * from 23.4 before 23.4R2-EVO.
