Juniper Junos OS: 2025-07 Security Bulletin: Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: When route validation is enabled, route validation cache connection establishment leads to an rpd crash (JSA100066) (CVE-2025-52958)

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.
